I had similar prob while installing RHL 7.1 on a 15+5 hard disk. I guess
the problem is that LILO must reside below some specified cylinder (1024
if I'm not wrong ).
Now some BIOS's ( older ones ) don't support booting beyond that limit. 

So disk druid complains.
For installing anyway use fdisk to partition the disk and proceed as
usual. I guess this should work ( At least it worked for me :-)
