You get exception occurred. An unhandled exception has occured... Traceback (most recent call list) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py" line 1137... ... File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py" line 579, in turnOnFilesystems diskset.savePartitions () File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py" line 726, in savePartitions disk.commit error: Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/hda5 - Device or resource busy. This means that Linux won't know about any changes made to /dev/hda5 until you reboot... Now, this appears to only happen if you have at least 2 Logical Volume partitions. In this case, one was called LogVolRoot and the other LogVolHome Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
