Description of problem:
While installing RHEL4 Beta1 on a p630 machine, the directory and the
hard disk name were specified. During the partitioning stage, on
clicking on the 'autopartition' tab, the partitions were generated
automatically, but on clicking 'ok' we get an exception and the
installer fails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy the iso images to the disk drive to be used for installation
2.Start the installer and specify the name of the disk drive and the
location of the iso images.
3.Select Autopartition as the method of partitioning the disk and on
the resulting screen click 'ok'.
    

Actual Results:  The installer crashes with the following message :

Could you please provide the full text of the traceback as opposed to
just the top lines (which are basically useless)?
