Could this be primary partition problem, as in exceeding number of 
primary partitions MBR can handle ( 4 ) per disk?
Does any one know of any limitation regarding this ( 
Anaconda/grub/driver(s) )

We are talking about

Disk 1 FC3,FC4,FC5,FC6 MBR Full

Disk 2 FC7,FC8, OpenSUSE 10.1, CentOS 5 MBR Full

How are you partitioning the disks?

What types of disk do you have
Which disk is it failing on, the 200GB or the 80GB ones
Is the installation path on the same disk as the one your trying to 
install it on?
Does DVD install or NFS/FTP/HTTP/PXE ( Network ) install work?
