From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: The installer crashed after manually defining the disk environment, prior to formatting the drives. The error message is "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sdb10 - device or resource busy". Key items to note: - Dell Dimension 4700 desktop. - Win/XP installed on primary SATA drive. - Fedora installed onto second 300GB SATA drive (using entire drive). The previous install of Fedora on this drive aborted approximately 1/2 way through disc1 with a media error. Last two lines of trace are: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 579, in turnOnFilesystems diskset.savePartitions() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 726, in saveParitions disk.commit() Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: The problem is not reproducible. Reinstalling Fedora went smoothly. Additional info:
Created attachment 119852 [details] anaconda dump
The anaconda dump is from a Gateway FLEXATXSTC Bro Essential 733C. FC4 dies on changing partitions. The error can be ignored, but when I did this and continued then grub failed with the famous "Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory" PFE ----------------
Reinstall Choose Auto partitioning Cancel when it errors Reboot and install and it will reformat the drive FC4 install completes Boots fine with no errors. On to updating ... PFE
I have nearly same problem. The install process hangs on (with same error message), and when I manually mount the partition, I have : No such device or address Hardware : motherboard --> GA-8IPE775-PRO network card -> 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M hard disk --> Seagate barracuda 7200.7 Additionnal info : - we have 2 pools of computers (2 different hardware sets). With one, installation performs perfectly. - we perform a network installation

Sorry, we passed round this bug, by images deployement (via Partimage and a self- made initrd). Do you want we test this, though ?
