Found similar problem with RH7.3. Have RH7.1 loaded on my Toshiba Satellite Pro w/Win 2000, using Partition Magic 7.0. System crashed (lost bios, etc..) After fix, tried to upgrade to RH7.3. Installer (using fdisk, Disk Druid, Grub) flaked out on partitioning. Ran into several programmatic errors, etc.. Wiped drive several times, no go. Re-loaded RH7.1 only (dropped Win2000), worked fine (strange, sound now works fine, GIMP works better). Loaded RH7.3 on server, no problems. Will leave laptop as 7.1.
