I have uploaded screen captures of both 4th and 5th consoles:

4th console:

5th console:

http://www.imagebam.com/image/40b4fa143427758

Looks like from the 4th console it says:

"set SELinux context for mountpoint /boot/efi to system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0"

Followed by the error:

"FSError: mount failed: (9, None)"

Does this information help diagnose the problem? I really hope to be
able to install SL 6.1. Thanks.
