i believe redhat 6.2 has the 1024 cylinder problem and it can't see past that... if your trying to install linux past that cylinder, then its not gonna detect it... i would suggest either trying a later version of redhat or linux, or you need to setup a different partition scheme... well, in my opinion that is the easiest way... would be to get a later version....
