error informing kernel
worth noting that sdb5 is the partition before the / partition (sdb6, in
anaconda opinion).
stays true for f9 beta x86_64 live I have tried to reproduce this locally several times using the latest rawhide tree and cannot get that error to come up. I am using the exact same partitioning layout you are using and only choosing /dev/sda6 for my root filesystem. Installation proceeds fine and I reboot and the system comes up fine. well, in f10 alpha i686 live cd, the installer still has this error. Created attachment 313526 [details]
anaconda log f10 alpha i686 live cd
here's the anaconda log for this install.

Description of problem: f9 alpha x86_64 live cd : after partitioning scrren, partition table was not changed by user but , after some other error, anaconda reports that it was unable to inform the kernel about changes to /dev/sdb5. fortunately, it offers the option to ignore the warning. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.select custom partitioning 2.don't modify the existing partitions, just assign a / and go further 3. Actual results: anaconda complains that it was unable to inform the kernel about modifications to /dev/sdb5.... Expected results: no errors Additional info: /dev/sdb5 is actually not used during instllation but, /dev/sdb6 (as it is seen by anaconda) it is used as / ,and is the only used partition. the output as seen by installed fedora{8,9_alpha} : # fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250058268160 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000d7f52 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 1338 10747453+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 * 1339 1351 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1352 1476 1004062+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 1477 30401 232340062+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 1477 20000 148794029+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 20001 21338 10747484+ 83 Linux /dev/sda7 21339 30400 72790483+ 83 Linux Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000379ab Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 60801 488384001 83 Linux anaconda switches sda and sdb .
