After choose install language and keyboard, the ananconda search the harddisk and get there is too RHEL on harddisk. I choose RHEL4AS to update. it report error:

Error enabling swap device hda5: No such file or directory. This most likely mean this swap partation has not been initliazed.

5. the popup windows read:
