I have repartitioned it to 27+10 with FIPS and want to use the new 10 GB partition (win95 FAT32) for linux. When I choose automatic partitioning screen, it declines to do that (space not available).
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 :-)
