It has something to do with SCSI based systems but I can't tell you 
specifically what.

I ran 7.10 on 4 or 5 computers and had no installation problems.  Then I tried 
to switch my email server from SuSE over to  7.10.  This particular system is 
SCSI based whereas the others were not.

I got that error many times and spent a day trying to get the system loaded 
but did not succeed.  I finally copied over all of the files from a different 
7.10 system  and it was able to boot with a lot of timeouts.  Once I got the 
system squared away and updated, things seemed to settle down and it has been 
running nicely since.

I would submit an error report if I were you.  Unless you stand on your head, 
you're not going to get it to install. IMHO
