unable to re-read the partition table

  I'm running into a wierd issue using the Promise Fasttrak driver in RH
7.3.  When I recompile the 2.4.18-3BOOT kernel to support the fasttrak
chipset.* I get the following error from the installer.  "The kernel was
unable to re-read the partition table on hde".  

  At 1st I thought this was entirely a driver issue, but if I drop to a
shell durning the install and run fdisk, sfdisk, and parted.  I can
reread the partition no issues.  If I select the option of using fdisk
from the installer.  The partition table is unable to be reread.

  As far as I can tell once I enter any of the partitioning screens I
can't reread the partition table.  Anyone have any ideas what the redhat
installer is doing to cause the issue?


*I used the options from kernel-2.4.18-i386-BOOT.config, and changed the
following options to y:
CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST=y
CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y
