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.

Ah, OK. Sadly, it does appear that changing the BIOS setting for the drives to AHCI from IDE will keep the other OS's from booting (since they were initially installed with different drivers and now are no longer detected :-( ) I'm also curious if I'm getting the most out of the drives by having it at IDE vs. AHCI...perhaps reinstalling the OS's again would be worth it from a performance standpoint?
