Possible solution:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D140382

A friend pointed me to that one. When I check /dev/hda with fdisk
and with parted I see the same problem described here. I'll probably
not be able to actually hack at it and retry the installation for another
dayor two, but will post back here if this turns out to be the problem.

Thanks for the attempts to help, gang!

Fred
