Just wanted to confirm that I have success in testing the above image soas-x86_64-20100817.16.iso in Parallels Desktop v5 (build 5.0.9344) for Mac. Unfortunately Parallels is a commercial product, but it does point to Oracle VirtualBox (v3.2.8 r64453) having some specific issue display with F14 at the moment.
