This is an old version of RHL. This version has some problem in
partitioning of Large Hdds. I also faced a similar problem. After
partitioning try <alt + F2, F3, F4, F5>. Somewhere u will see -
autopartitioning failed - or a similar message. You can either use fdisk -
for linux to partition the HDD or choose to install the latest 6.2 version
of RHL. This may solve the problem.........
