Description of problem: When attempting to install Fedora Core 4 from DVD, installation halts on the "About to Install" screen, with the "Disk Busy" errors given below (see actual results). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Unsure of anaconda version How reproducible: Please find attached my harddisk partition configuration, which may assist you in reproducing this error. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Conduct installation normally up to repartitioning. 2. Select manual partition. 3. Set the mount point for hdb5 to / (root) and flag it for formatting (because you have no choice). 4. Do not install a bootloader. 5. Continue, leaving all defaults. 6. On "About to install" screen, select install. Actual results: Almost instantly, an error is displayed: "/dev/hdb5 - Device or resource busy. This means, Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hdb5 until you reboot - so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting." Followed by a string of python errors, that start regarding (what I suppose are) next button procedures, and culminate in Harddisk-related functions, followed by "ERROR: error: Error: /dev/hdb5 - Device or resource..." etc as above. Expected results: No error message; Repartitioning, and Installation of FC4. Additional info: I attempted to save the error output to floppy disk, however upon checking the same disk (from within Ubuntu), found there was no file present (hidden or otherwise).
