[lug] Redhat install lock up problems...

[Warren Sanders]

I seem to remember having a similar type of problem.  It was due to mounting any vfat partitions during install.  Two things are, either don't 
mount vfat untill after installing or get the fix for anaconda disk from RedHats updates.  Other than that I'm not sure.
