I built a Fedora 7 server on Workstation 6 which I tried to run on VM Server v1.02 (I didn't realise only Workstation 5.x was supported).
I tried downgrading the F7 server to Workstation 5 but when I start the VM under VM Server 1.02 it says "No volume groups found" and goes on to "Kernel panic". I presume the problem is it can't see the drive.
Do I have to re-install workstation 5 and rebuild the machine or not use Fedora 7?
This is the boot screen:
