I saw this on a kickstart install (x86_64). Curiously enough I repeated
the same install and it worked second time around. I was mirroring disks,
the first disk had a Windows partition on it that I was overwriting, and
the second may have had its geometry modified (ie. number of virtual heads
put up to 255).
