Hi,
The SL 5.1 anaconda just crashed on me three times, fortunately before it
formatted the partitions.
After I had finished setting up the partitions and networking and packages,
after it had verified the consistency of the packages, I came to a window
that prompted me if I wanted to start the installation. I clicked "Next"
and got an error dialog:
================================================================
Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition/dev/sda5--Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 until you reboot--so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.
================================================================
It prompted me to "ignore" or "cancel". I tried it each way, with the same
result: an exception window, and no choice but to re-boot.
================================================================
Exception Occurred
...
/tmp/treedir/12334/instimage/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py line 892, in savePartition disk.commit()
" " /packages.py, line 147, in turnOnFilesystems anaconda.id.diskset.savePartitions()
================================================================
The machine is a 2411 MHz x86_64 dual-core (family 15 model37) with 8GB RAM.
It has a Fiber Channel connection (I tried the install both
connected and unconnected).
It also has an IPMI card.
The system hard disk is nothing special (maybe a little over-partitioned)
