Partition off 8 Gigs for your install.  After you have installed GNU/Linux you 
can update to a newer kernel/world which will allow for these size disks and 
much larger.

Since I don't remember which version of kernel and /dev is packaged with 5.2, it 
is hard to say if this is _the_ solution. However, if the above doesn't work, 
you will know that there is merely something funky with your HD partition table. 
    In that case, download the newer fdisk from ftp.redhat.com and use that to 
re-write your partition table.
