I got this error try to install RH7 on a western digital 18G ULTRA2 (7200RPM) 
SCSI hard drive.  The disk seems to work fine with any other OS RH6.0,NT4.0 and 
NT2000 but not RH7.  If I use the same computer and change the drive to an 
identical seagate drive install works.  I have tried an upgrade from RH6.0 I 
only did clean installs.

What steps did you take in the installer to produce this bug?

We need to be able to reproduce the bug here before we can work on it, so this
information is very helpful.
