The parity errors are hardware related and shouldn't be the reason why it
won't allow you to install unless the errors occurred in critical regions
of the disk which would prevent the on-disk directory structure to be
established.

If it installs on an RZ24, it should install on an RZ25... just not *that*
RZ25...
