I tried to create a Fedora 40 virtual machine under VMware version 17.0.2. The ISO image boots up fine, but when I double click on the "Install to drive" It will often fail withe the following error:
Anaconda is unable to create /var/run/anaconda.pid because the file already exists. Anaconda is already running, or a previous instance of anaconda has crashed.
I may have to try several times before I can install it to the drive.
When it finishes installation and I click on "Finish Installation" nothing happens. I expect it to say reboot system, but it does nothing. I reboot manually and when it comes back up it initially says "Initial setup" but then the screen flashes and the login prompt appears.

Have you tried deleting that file before trying again?
anaconda seems to run even after displaying the popup about unable to create the pid file. I tried the install under VirtualBox and I didn't see the anaconda error. However, again the install did not complete because after rebooting manually it still booted off the ISO rather than from disk.

Hi
I've tried it to day with a virtualbox VM. Got the same result. Solved unmounting the iso image then booting from disk.

Isn't that something you have to set in virtualbox?

Often VMware and VirtualBox need to do an update to support newer linux kernels. Maybe that is part of the problem here? Do you see claims of support for the 6.8 kernel?
