Bob,
I have had this happen twice and found that I had to start the install
over
again and use fdisk or cfdisk to remove/delete the offending
partitions.
DOS/fdisk and PM will not be able to do so. It might be a good idea to
abort the
installation after deleting the partitions and boot up DOS or run PM and
verify that all is well before starting the installation again. If you
use
Disk Druid or Linux fdisk to mess with partitions in an extended
partition it
seems to cause the problem so I install the primary root partition
outside of
any extended partition.
