[Bug 1220165] Re: Error informing the kernel about modificatons

[Phill Whiteside]

Pretty much confirming the suspicion of it not being Ubiquity to blame, using alternate install (server install system). On a completely removed and recreated LVM, no problem.  When I asked for 'side by side, it told me that vda was still mounted. Just following the  unmount prompt allows me to proceed fine. Sorry for being late; I've had a couple of days off and wanted to check an actual install, as opposed to relying on my memory.
Regards,
Phill.

Title:
  Error informing the kernel about modificatons

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When installing the desktop powerpc image, the installer comes up with
  an error message:

  "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partitino /dev/sda3
  - Device or resource busy.  This means Linuxc won't know about any
  changes you made to /dev/sda3 until you reboot - so you shouldn't
  mount it or use it in any way before rebooting."

  I made no changes.  The installer comes up with this error all on its
  own right before the "Where are you?" screen.
