which one? Version ?
Works OK for me with vmware-server-1.0.3 on fc6 or f7, and the 
any-any109 patch.

vmware provides multiple disk emulation types, scsi {from memory text 
says this is recommended}, however, it doesn't seem to work in f7. 
Choose the IDE disk type instead.

By the way, vmware-server-console can be used to make a virtual cd drive 
available to the virtual machine - but this CD can actually be any iso 
image. You could point to the location of the iso image and not have to 
burn it to dvd...
