Install Fedora 8 in Virtual PC 2007

For installation of Fedora in Virtual PC 2007, there are problems of display and mouse during graphical installation and when using X Window.

The problems can be solved by changing the kernel paramemter in the boot option and changing the grub.conf and xorg.conf after 1st boot of post installation

(1) at the 1st [graphical] screen, hit TAB to modify boot params;

- it will show "vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img";

- add "vesa i8042.noloop psmouse.proto=imps clock=pit"

Details:

- "vesa" selects "vesa" driver instead of the "s3" one; mandatory if you

want the graphics installer. This also allowed "Millions of colors" to be used post-install.

- "i8042.noloop" makes the PS/2 mouse work, otherwise it's stuck in the center of the screen; reference: comment #45 at

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=223606

- "psmouse.proto=imps" makes the mouse wheel work; optional as it's not that usefull during the install, but usefull to add it to kernel options for normal system use.

- "clock=pit", according to a MSKB article, resolves some problems with the time[r]; don't know how usefull is it during the install.

(2) at the 2nd [graphical] screen after boot of post install, hit TAB to modify boot params;

- add "vga=771 1"

so that the installation will go to linux single mode

(3) Edit the /etc/grub.conf

- add "vesa vga=771 i8042.noloop psmouse.proto=imps clock=pit"

(4) Edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change default pixel depths to 16 from 24
