I had a similar problem with a 40 GB hdd. This seems to only afflict RedHat, don't ask me why. Googling took me to a page that suggested two options. a) give a huge amount of swap space, something like a couple of GB (yes -- I know but w/ 80 GB I'm sure you can spare it even if temporarily.) b) open a virtual console during the install, an isuue the sync commmand repeatedly every few seconds till your install is going on. worked for me, you ought to give it a try. let us know if it worked.
