Fedora Core 5 was released yesterday, I attempted to upgrade my existing Fedora Core 4 installation in VMWare Workstation 5.5.0 and encountered a problem.

Fedora isn’t automatically detecting the VMWare SCSI device, it presents a warning that there were no hard drives were detected. I found you can resolve this by manually adding the BusLogic device during setup.

See the following sequence of screenshots.

1. Default Boot Screen

2. Warning Message “No hard drives have been found.”

3. List of Automatically Detected Devices

4. Manually Selecting the “BusLogic MultiMaster SCSI” Driver

5. List of Detected Devices now including the BusLogic Driver

After doing this everything installed normally, Good Luck!!
