Can't install FC5 on Dell Optiplex 170L

[Internet Frame, sa de cv]

Trying to install fc5, anaconda aborts installation due to an unhandled
exception, just after anaconda checks for dependencies of the selected
packages to install. The situation is as follows:

originally my pc runs with a sata (160 GB) drive, on which win xp is
installed. so, and not wanting to touch the drive i attached to normal ata
drives ( each 20 GB), and disconnected the sata drive, Why to drives? Well
because i got a problem: in another machine (home brew), i was running fc3
but unfortunately this machine is not starting, so i decided to install fc5
on the dell machine with the 2 ata drives and sata removed, so as to be able
to mount my fc3 drive after the installation of fc5, in order to rescue my
work from the fc3 drive.

 I allready submited a bug to anaconda, # 188120. Any ideas how to solve
this problem? Thx in advance for your help.


The first few lines of the anaconda dump are:
