You have a VM with 40 GB volume, which does not show in the installer?

Can a hypervisor offer virtual disk controller that is not supported by el9?

PS. When/if you do get the volume to show, then do switch to “Custom” in the “Storage Configuration”. You can still auto-generate a proposal there, but can also tweak it (as one most likely wants for such VM).
