In the graphical install shell, I wanted to perform an update of 6.0 to 6.1. While "checking for previous Red Hat installations", setup tried to check or mount my /dev/sdb6, which is an NTFS partition, and it said: error mounting ext2 partition: invalid option. After that, it hung. It did so even in expert mode.
