Try re-doing the partitioning using fdisk instead.  In Anaconda, when
you get the option to manually or automatically partition, switch to
virtual console 2 (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and type "fdisk /dev/hda" .  Set up
your partitions the way you want, quit out of fdisk, and reboot if it
says anything about being unable to write the partition information or
that the kernel will use the old partition table until reboot.  If you
don't need to reboot (or after you reboot), use Disk Druid to set your
partition labels and mount points normally, but keep the partition
setup as you've defined in fdisk.
