well, this reminds me of a problem with RHEL-5 install that never
made it into bugzilla as I was unable to reproduce it on the
second try ...
I had some LVM setup, and when I tried to reuse the old label,
the installation aborted, as it was unable to repartition the
drives as selected ... as I was curious, I tried to zero some
places on the disk, until the problem disappeared - however, by
that time, I had zeroed nearly the whole drive :-)
when I wanted to report it and I created LVM setup and reused the
label on purpose, to have a reproducer setup, magically there
was no problem ...
so, I guess you'd actually save time waiting for zeroing the
whole disk rather than trying to solve the problem ;-)
(ok, I'm not suggesting workarounds, you should get someone to
fix it properly, I just wanted to say that it may be hard to
catch)
