Anaconda dump file
Error with FreeBSD partition! I have /dev/hda4 with FreeBSD. I can't install Fedora! I hate being a 'me too', but I also have that error, but it comes about in a different way. I have a machine with two very large raid arrays, so they look like two 1.5 Terrabye drives, both with just one large partition on them. They had already been partitioned before trying this install. I didn't do anything to them. I didn't assign the paritions names, or touch them in any way in disk druid, yet I got the same error as above, except that it says /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/hda1. In tracking this down and trying to find a way around it, I got into F2, and found that if I tried to repartition using parted, it just barfed if my partitions went above the 1 Terrabyte limit. But I was able to use fdisk just fine. I also have this error, with a 1.5TB RAID5 array with a 3ware 8506-8 Serial ATA card. Get the same error as the first poster: Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda1 - Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda1 until you reboot - so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.same error as the first poster, with Created attachment 97621 [details]
Here is the dump file for the error I just described. Hope it helps.
Received same error almost to the letter as described in initial report. My error is also with FreeBSD partition. It's version 5.1. Interestingly enough I also have problem trying to Install RHL 9.0. I also have multiple partitions created, probably the same way as the initial report, using CFDISK to allow making 3 Primary Partitions, an Extended Partition and Multiple Logical Partitions. During Partitioning DiskDruid also complains but says error can be ignored and later on there is a warning about a Boot Sector problem which also can be ignored. Previously I had the FreeBSD on a physical Disk of it's own and Fedora installed without problems. No other Distro has a problem so it appears bug is somewhere in anaconda and DiskDruid. Hello, More additions I'm afraid: we've had the same trouble at KNMI with: HP DL360 + BROWNIE U160SCSI/IDE RAID5 vault + RH7.3 DELL 2650 + DELL PV220s + RH9 HP XW6000 workstation + BROWNIE U160SCSI/IDE RAID5 vault + RHEL WS3.0 HP XW6000 workstation + BROWNIE U160SCSI/IDE RAID5 vault + RH9 Workaround always is to disconnect or poweroff the vault(s), do the install or kickstart, reboot/poweron the vaults. I agree that it is a bug in anaconda/DiskDruid. The only common factor at our site seems to be: RedHat/anaconda/RAID-vault/large filesystem with ext3. This should be better in the devel tree now. |
