I can't do dsl-hdinstall with 0.7.2 (md5 is ok)

fdisk -l
Unable to seek on /dev/hda

I did install 0.7.1 without any problem.

If fdisk -l cannot see your drive, then it won't install. What does cfdisk display? Also, what does fdisk -l on the drive show when you boot from 0.7.1. fdisk didn't change, so I am curious what it wil display.

cfdisk display my partition correctly(both 0.7.1 and 0.7.2)
/dev/hda1 Primary ext2 2701.77MB
/dev/hda5 Logical swap 627.06 MB
/dev/hda6 Logical ext2 998.65 MB

i tried to remove /dev/hda1 and repartition it with cfdisk
then mke2fs /dev/hda1
I can format sucessfully.
However fdisk -l still show the same error
