This is similar to the problem I had. I could partition the drive using
the Mac disk utility, but then when I went into the linux installer, it
would not detect my hds. As it turned out, there is something bad about
the detection of the hd if it is scsi0. So, after checking out the
quantum site to get info on changing the scsi setting, I set the hd to
scsi2 (I think) and then had no problems with the installer.
Good luck
