I've found that issue happens when I check format and update the status....
This issue it does not happen when I boot from LiveUSB ---
Well, I think that I've found the solution: the problem was that iso fiile was in the very root partition, because of that, Liveinst refused to unmount it. I've verified moving iso file to another partition and this error went away. HTH
Well, I think that I've found the solution: the problem was that iso fiile was in the very root partition, because of that, Liveinst refused to unmount and format it. I've verified moving iso file to another partition and this error went away. You may want to close it.
