Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 235629
anaconda stops with "CRITICAL: parted exception: Error:../dev/hda4 -- Device or resource busy"
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:01 EST
Description of problem: I have 4 primary partitions, 2 for Windows, 3rd for Fedora2 (hda3 ; type identifier 0x83) and 4th for Solaris10 (hda4 ; 0xBF - see below) When I try (had try 3 times) to install Fedora6 on hda3, the install stops with "parted exception on hda4" after I was finished with choosing the different packages. The error can be found on the attached file. Is this because the new type identifier from Sun? NB: the DVD checksum is OK, the linux checkmedia is OK too. NB2: the type identifier of Solaris is changed by Sun from 0x82 (same as linux swap) to 0xBF for Solaris10 (http://www.sun.com/blueprints/0905/819-2889.pdf) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): DVD fedora 6 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. you must have a Solaris10 on your disk 2. boot from DVD, "linux" or "linux text" dump from install: 13:09:53 INFO : anaconda.methodstr = cdrom://hdc:/mnt/source 0 13:09:53 INFO : moving (1) to step enablefilesystems 13:09:56 CRITICAL: parted exception: Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/hda4 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/hda4 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Created attachment 151931 [details] Dump from install, the install stops just after "checking the depedencies"
I forgot to write that the PC rebooted after I press the "done" button, I had tried 3 times I got the same error. Now I get back to fedora2 (I had "kino" working there), thanks to the "trueimage" I made just before install fedora6. Thanks Tuan
