It has been reported as a problem. However, I did an upgrade install on my system (allowed FC II to upgrade over a FC I install) and did not allow my lilo to be overwritten. I added FC II's information to my current lilo file. No problem. There is somethng with kernel 2.6 and parted causing the issue.
 
So...I recommend avoiding using FC II's partitioning utility.
 
I would recommend using PartitionMagic on a fresh install to set up the partition, then do the install.
