Description of problem, bug, incorrect information, or enhancement request: Anaconda crashes persistently while installing FC4, before it starts formatting. I have FC2 installed on this desktop, with software RAID. I was trying the "custom" installation. Before the crash it complains about hdg5 (a part of md5). I did not include a mount point for md5. I enclose here the traceback and attach the whole file anacdump.txt 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/hdg5 - Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hdg5 until you reboot - so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. Version of release notes this bug refers to: Fedora Core 4 final release
Created attachment 123548 [details] anacdump.txt file produced by crashing anaconda (written to a floppy)
Thank you for the bug report but this should be filed against Anaconda and not against the release notes since the release notes. Reassigning to Anaconda.
