First step was to remove the 5th disk from the system.  I was mounted as /sde1
After this is complete the install finished with out a problem.

A long time ago we ran into this problem and it had to do with the number of 
devices.
We used to run 32 SCSI drives on a server using two 16 device cards and when 
the high speed serial stuff came out we were suddenly limited to 6 devices. - 
This from memory.

The 5 SATA drives + DVD as a SATA drive is 6  Mother board is labeled 0  -> 5
all ports are used.  We unplugged cable from 5th disk and the install went 
normally.
It accepts sda1 - sda12, sdb1, sdc1, sdd1 and the DVD drive in 5th slot.
