I just went ahead an downloaded the ISO's again. This time there was no problem. I thinking the bittorrent I was using was Bad perhaps a beta version or somthing.
Hmmm. My aborted install was local DVD. sha1sum checked as did media check. DVD was downloaded by torrent as well and I think torrent is supposed to check file integrity automatically. Did another install with same media with no issues. Machines are identical except no Raid on machine with good install, linux Raid 1 on machine with failed install. Anaconda seems to read the partitions, or partition table, correctly since it displays the correct partition to mount for doing custom partition. Trying clean install gives same result: cannot mount /dev/md1. Have not found any help in Release notes, google or archives.
Still searching. Thanks for your input. Seems we have regressed with anaconda since all 4.x versions installed on this machine without a hitch.

I get the same error that you have when I try to upgrade from centos 4.4 to 5. I haven't tried to a clean install yet. I did try a clean install on a VMWare machine and it gave me the same error.
Have completed two clean installs of CentOS 5 with no issues (other than permissions on ~/.ssh directory. One 32 bit system, one 64 bit. When I tried an upgrade from 4.4 on 64 bit system with two SATA drives in Raid 1 configuration, anaconda could not mount the root partition /dev/md1. The error message suggested it was because the partition was not formated which is obviously not correct.
Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks in advance.
