I would suggest that you join the CentOS list (if you haven;t done so)
and post this problem there. There are a lot more people there who
have in depth experience with the RedHat/CentOS installer. Other than
one grump who launches into off topic tirades at the drop of a hat,
most everyone including the developers (they participate fully) is
quite responsive to solvig problems.

As a side note, selinux (especially the default configuration) has
been known to screw up a number of things, so it might be worth while
to turn it off.
