RedHat 7.1 refusing to cleanly install

[Wolfgang Pfeiffer <pfeifferw tesionmail de>]

I am at the end of my knowledge: after 8 oder 9 tries
to install RedHat 7.1 I don't know what to do to get this
system installed:
I always did a custom install ... I formatted the
partitions with Disk Druid before the install ... after the
install I had to realize the fact, that between 10% - 20% of
the software I told the installer to install was not on the
system, and when I did a
rpm -V -a
after the install, I got sometimes dozens of 
"Unsatisfied dependencies" - the attachment in this mail is
the result of a
rpm -V -a
from some days ago. After other 7.1 installs I got much more
errors than the ones attached here - I chose this short result
to attach with respect to download times.
Furthermore, after such installs, when I tried to mount a CD-Rom
the 7.1 system told me there was no driver present to do
that (after at least one 7.1 install the system apparently *had*
the driver) ... 
when I tried to mount a vfat partition (W.98 on it) 7.1 tells
me something like "vfat" was "not supported by this kernel"


When I did a
df -i 
after such an install I got this (excerpt):
-------------------------------------------------
Filesystem   Inodes    Iused    IFree    IUse
 .. hda7     226240    47816    178424   22%
 .. hda3     204800    13275    191525   7%
 .. hda6       4016       23      3993   1%
 .. hda9      96576       17     96559   1%
---------------------------------------------------
the partitions:
hda7 (1764 MB) = /   
hda3 (800 MB)  = just files, no programs on it 
hda6 (15 MB)   = /boot 
hda9 (753 MB)  = /home
 ... and I have more than I Giga SWAP (RAM more than
500 MB)

As far as I understand (which is not very much .. I am
a beginner with Linux) this inodes result seems to
be okay ... am I right?

I'm stuck.
Regards, and thanks for your help in anticipation.
Wolfgang
