I managed to boot into the text installer for
Scientific Linux 6.1 (which is literally just RHEL minus the branding), and went through every step till I specify "use entire disk"
during install and start the installation process.
At this point, I would see messages saying the installer is
partitioning the hard disk, copying files, etc., then always the same
error:
"An error occurred mounting device /dev/sdb1 as /boot/efi: mount
failed: (9, None). This is a fatal error and the install cannot
continue."
Here is a screen shot via my phone:

Note: /dev/sda is my hard disk, and my USB drive is apparently mounted
in /dev/sdb
I also uploaded the console outputs:
4th console:

5th console:

Looks like from the 4th console it says:
"set SELinux context for mountpoint /boot/efi to system_u
bject_r:boot_t:s0"
Followed by the error:
"FSError: mount failed: (9, None)"
Does anyone know what this means and how I can resolve the issue?
Thanks.
