Description of problem:
When I perform a new (graphic) install of Fedora Core 2 test3, using
the DVD image, then after selecting manual partitioning I get the disk
druid screen. First, when I move over buttons in that screen the
button color will change (slightly), but when I try to select a
partition, it will not react upon further commands (both from mouse
and keyboard) anymore (and the color changing of buttons when moving
over them is also not performed anymore). The computer is not
completely hanging, as the LED still reacts to pressing the CAPS-lock
button. I can not select Next, Prev or anything else (the reset button
did the trick :-( ). I have retried it several times, and each time it
got stuck there.
In Fedora Core 2 test2, I think I also had this behaviour, but then
after one or two retries I could get past this point.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot with DVD
2.custom install
3.manual partition
    

Actual Results:  Installer does not continue, and won't react on user
input anymore.

Expected Results:  I should have been able to manually partition the
disk of my choice

Additional info:

I have two ATA100 harddisks and one SCSI harddisk. On the latter I
tried to install FC2test3.

What does your partition table look like before the install begins?

Here are my partition tables (if still useful...):
