Here's what I found so far:
In BIOS there is a setting "AMD Cool n Quiet". I thought this was some 
type of fan thing. It is not. It controls the cpu speed. So I disable 
this and now dmesg and /proc/cpuinfo both show same at 2510 MHz. And I 
try creating a new F9 VM with 1 VCPU. The install now seems to run at a 
normal speed but still I cannot get F9 to install in VM. It says 
partition table on /dev/sda is unreadable and it needs to initialize. So 
I say yes and it sits there for about 10 mins until it give you an error 
(i/o error on device) retry,ignore,cancel. No choice helps. So I try 
with F7 as well and same thing, it cannot initialize the virtual drive 
(mine is file-based).

Gerry
