[YannUbuntu]

Public bug reported:

See http://paste.ubuntu.com/1288764

**************************
$sudo parted /dev/mapper/nvidia_hebbffef set 5 boot on
Error: Partition(s) 5, 6 on /dev/mapper/nvidia_hebbffef have been written, but
we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they
are in use.  As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use.  You should
reboot now before making further changes.
