Thanks Martin,
I was able to get to a virtual console and found out the module
for my scsi card had not been loaded. Once I modprobed the correct
module I was able to partition the drive and proceed with the
installation. Since the correct module was there is this a hardware
detection bug? I will be happy to provide more info if needed.
