I've the same problem, and I see you need more information, but the the other 
guys don't report more, so I do...

I wanted to install a7 on VMWare Workstation 3.2.0 build-2230 the host OS is 
Windows XP, sorry but, the corporation I work beliefes in M$ :-(

Let me descripe my experience with VM and a7:
I boot from CD and after a short time there is a screen half black and green, 
the green one with a mouse pointer in it witch I can't move. The Keyboard is 
also disabeled. But if I send VMWare into the taskbar and get it back from it 
I can see clearly the first setup screen. The mouse doesn't work but the 
keyboard does, as long as I send the VM into taskbar and get it back. So I do:

01. press Space for language choose
02. "taskbar move" (VM into Taskbar and back)
03. 5 times down arrow (German language) and Enter
04. "taskbar move"
05. ALT + W (Next button) to continue installation procedure
06. "taskbar move"
07. second screen, I make a SHIFT+Tab to choose the first installation option 
(whole harddisk) and Enter
08."taskbar move"
09. see H2O installating packages, it seemed to work fine but I think I better 
stop playing Tetrix, otherwise I fell addicted to the "taskbar move"

It seemed that there is a missing paint event or repaint or something in that 
way.

10. after rebooting the system I got no running x-server, why? I had to logon 
in textmode
11. startx ends with fatal IO error 104

Shall I send one of you the XFree86.0.log?

For additional information feel free to ask me.
