Any idea what version of RedHat that is?

See

http://www.rhil.net/docs/faq.html#install_dies

for a list of possible causes.  The most likely is a problem with
installing to ext3 filesystems.  The install kernel has been known to
be fragile about that.  Install to ext2 filesystems, instead.  You can
convert to ext3 after the install.  For details, see this:
