Description of problem:

Fedora Core 8 fails to install on a system using an IDE (SATA) driver with
more than 15 partitions, even when attemting to install to a partition
less than or equal to 15. The kernel is supposed to be able to
handle up to 32 partitions on an IDE driver, and other Linux instalations
(ie. Ubuntu) sucessfully install on this system.

The system uses:

 ASUS P5K-V Intel chipset motherboard
 500GB SATA hard drive
 Pioneer SATA DVD RW drive

The driver has 3 normal partitions for the boot manager
and 2 MSWindows versions, and 15 extended partitions for Linux
of about 25GB each.
(This is an application test machine for testing and debugging
 an application on the various operating system versions. I am
 unable to continue with the task of getting this application
 working on Fedora if I am unable to install it).
