(btw installing straight from cd never worked for me as it failed on the disk
partitioning regardless of the options I chose) </P>
<P>I've seen that happen when the disk has strange partitioning information.
Anaconda queries the disk, gets confused, and eventually dies. We had this after
trying to use a HW RAID, and then abandoning that plan for SW RAID. The RAID
controller had written some odd partitioning data on the disks.</P>
<P>Can't remember what we did to un-jinx it. Probably switched to a VT early
under the installer and used fdisk to write some bog-standard partition anaconda
could make sense of :-)<BR><BR></P>
