I've hit the same problem. anaconda some times gets confused
if the disk is not partitioned & formatted in a "typical" way
or the HD & CD-rom are not in "typical" places. For example,
having a large (160Gig) HD with not all the partitions formatted,
or using a pci-to-ide card (on some motherboards).

Make sure that the CD-rom & HD are both master on IDE0 & 1,
to elliminate that possibility.
