User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [ja] (Macintosh; I; PPC)

Description of problem:
Hard-disk formatting process stops when a large partition is to be created. 
The size of the partition is more than 2 GB. 


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Booting from the install CD, and hit enter to begin normal install. 
2.Continue the install with default choices. 

Actual Results:  Hard-disk formatting process stops with a dialog that tells: 

An error occured trying to format hd**. 
This problem is serious, and install cannot continue. 
Press Enter to reboot your system. 


Expected Results:  When all the important partitions, /boot, root, and swap were 
located, 
for example below 451 cilinders, the error does not appear. 

For example, at 988 cilinders, the PC froze at the end of the 
copying process of kernel-2.4.7-10. It seems that there are two 
problems on my system, and this problem of file copying seems to be 
related to the already reported error #64036. 


Additional info:

The PC configuration is following: 

CPU   : AMD Athlon XP 1800+, 256KB Cache, 133MHz Bus
Board : Epox EP-8KHA+, Socket A, DDR, VIA KT266A
Memory: 512MB DDR DIMM PC2100/266MHz * 2
HD    : IBM IC35L080 80GB, 7200rpm * 2
CD-ROM: Cyberdrive CW038D 16/12/40x, IDE
Video : ATI XPert98 AGP, 8MB SDRAM, ATI Rage Pro Turbo

I confirmed that the error always appeared in these configurations: 
- one HD and two HDs, primary and secondary IDE
- all install types except for no-choice custom install
- automatic, maximum- and minimum-usage partitions
- Linux version 7.1
