Unfortunately, FC7 ships a broken mptspi kernel module:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230703

Select the disk as an IDE disk or BusLogic disk, and it should work. 
Edit the vmdk file and change "lsilogic" to "ide", then remove and readd 
the virtual disk from VMWare edit configuration.

I do hope this gets fixed before FC7 ships...
