Description of problem:

Install crashes with:

<0>Kernel panic - not syncing: drivers/block/ll_rw_bloc.c:1281: spin_lock
(drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c:de84fc14) already locked by 
drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c/1326. (Not tainted)

Hardware is vmware.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

FC4T1 installer.

How reproducible:

Install workstation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run installer on vmware
2. Select workstation
3. Start install
  
Actual results:

Lots of Gtk errors about Gtk.FALSE being deprecated followed by the kernel 
panic.

Hopefully the file/line pairs in the panic message will allow the bug to be 
tracked down and fixed.

Mass update for bugs reported against -test:
Updating version field to FC4 final. Please retest with final FC4 release if you
have not already done so. Thanks.

[This comment has been added as a mass update for all FC4 kernel bugs.
 If you have migrated this bug from an FC3 bug today, ignore this comment.]

Please retest your problem with todays 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 update.

If your problem involved being unable to boot, or some hardware not being
detected correctly, please make sure your /etc/modprobe.conf is correct *BEFORE*
installing any kernel updates.
If in doubt, you can recreate this file using..

mv /etc/sysconfig/hwconf /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.bak
mv /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.conf.bak
