<tt>Here's what I found so far:<br>
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).<br>

I think SELinux is causing some problems with KVM:<br>
