Hey Professor (as Ace would say)...

I don't know about having to reinstall the other OS's or not however you 
do want the controller set to AHCI for FC6.  Also in order to get the 
CDrom drive working I had to add the all-generic-ide.  I was unable to 
install FC6 when I set my drives to anything other than AHCI.
