Description of problem: traceback during install of x86_64 live GOLD image while adding mount point to existing home dir (no format) It appears that the installer does something with the exiting home dir as an icon appears for it on desktop so that it can be accessed. This then appears to interfere with the installation. if you right click to unmount the home dir on the desktop an error message appears telling you can't because it was mounted by HAL or something else. typing `mount` as root does not show the partition mounted and there appears to be no way to unmount it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.3.0.50-2 dmraid-1.0.0.rc14-4.fc8 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot x86_64 live image from USB stick 2. Double-click and start hard disk installer 3. choose customer disk layout during install 4. add mount point for existing /home dir 5. do not format partition 6. start install Additional info: See attached anaconda traceback file

Had you mounted the home directory partition yourself somewhere?
No. I did not mount the home directory anywhere else.
