[lug] wierd rh7.2 install failure

[Hugh Brown]

I would fire up a rescue disk and redo the partitions.  the redhat
install will do the following /boot at the beginning about 50M, / in the
middle and a swap partition at the end of the disk that is approximately
2xRAM.

I would also try doing the text install.
