Installing DU - disklabel problem

Hello gurus,

I'm having a disklabel problem when trying to install DU 4.0E on an
Alpha Personal Workstation 500au which was formerly running RedHat
Linux 7.0. The installation program bombs out with the message:

disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: Open partition would move or shrink
Use alternate partition

The disk is an RZ2DC-KB. When I do a disklabel -rw from the blue-screen
shell prompt I get the same message. When I do a disklabel -z it says:

Disk is unlabeled or, /dev/rrz16a is not block 0 of the disk

disklabel -r says the same thing. Any ideas? Thanks... Matt
