They also said that they had cases of the problem where installing to one filesystem had worked when it wouldn't on another - despite both having enough space. We added a new filesystem on an unused partition which then took the installation without complaint. Of course this isn't much help if you don't have any other filesystems, but thats all i can suggest.
