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

[Phill Whiteside]

@ Colin, as this bug is a 'grey' bug for alternate install. I'm just about to kick off the desktop install. As the installer does insist on re-downloading a load of via the internet instead of using what is on the actual ISO; it takes over an hour for me to do a test. My only option is to disconnect from the internet when trying an install as side-by-side and losing my connectivity for being able to chat :)
Regards,
Phill.

Title:
  Error informing the kernel about modificatons

Status in “parted” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

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.
