Try to install RHEL v5.2 in text mode to figure out whether this problem
will arise in this mode. You can start text based installation by simple
passing an argument to Anaconda installer program at boot prompt using this
linux text askmethod
OR
Try to install CENTOS-v5.2 if you have available.

> 2 internal SCSI disks (identical, 73G)
