Description of problem:
anaconda fails after I selected packages and after formatting / 
partitions. 

I am installing on a 40GB harddisk with 5000 over cylinders. Not sure if 
it is because of the cylinder number exceeds 1023.

The message dumped is:
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in
