FWIW, the same thing happens to me sometimes when running under emulator 
such as vmware & qemu. Not only with the sysinstall/installation CD but 
with installed, live systems. I don't know what the problem is, but it 
usually goes away after reboot.

While ranting on this, I'll add that sometimes when I boot my laptop 
(completly unrelated system, not the host for virtual machines), it 
doesn't recognize the touchpad (usually found & working as /dev/psm)... 
This problem also goes away on reboot.

Both problems are found on 5.3-R or 5-STABLE.
