From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: I've now attempted to run the Fedora installer on four different systems (almost identical hardware). Each time, the anaconda installer fails giving me an error message saying that the kernel can't be notified or something like that, then it fails out saying that it couldn't notify the kernel of the changes to /dev/hda2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click through the installer using all defaults 2. Click 'Ignore' in the error message 3. Actual Results: The installer crashed Expected Results: The installer should have installed fedora core Additional info: anacdump.txt (truncated) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1137, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 244, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 873, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 174, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 242, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) 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/hda2 - Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hda2 until you reboot - so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.
