    You likely have the max. of 4 primary partitions used. Need to see the output from any linux the output of ' fdisk -l ' { note: the -l is a small L not a 1'one'},.to see what can be done. What OS's are currently on your system ?

    Lostfarmer must be right...I'm not sure about RHEL,but when I'd same problem installing Ubuntu Desktop edition I used logical partition instead of using primary partition to install Ubuntu and it was success.

    Not sure if that helps but just a clue
