I can not help you with this error messages but I have
installed FC4 successfully on VMWare Workstation 5 with
the following settings:

Custom Virtual Machine (Legacy Format)
Guest OS Linux (Red Hat Linux)
256 MB Memory
Bridged Networking
SCSI Adpater Buslogic
Virtual SCSI disc with 6GB preallocated & splitted in 2 GB Files
(I got an error with non preallocated discspace)

Then, I just mapped the CD ISO Images to the CD ROM drive and
got an installtion without any kernel options at startup.
No further problems ... :-)

Hope this will help you a little bit.

Wolfgang
