Package: installer
severity: important
Dear Installer Team,
I used the nightly build of the Jessy i386 mini.iso (22-Feb-2014
00:16) to install to an old laptop.
I wrote the mini.iso to a usb-stick using unetbootin.
During the partitioning phase of the installation i got the following error:
"Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda1
-- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any
changes you made to /dev/sda1 until you reboot --"
There is an option to ignore, but this doesn't alleviate the problem.
As a usb-stick is an increasingly popular installation medium, I would
categorize this bug as important.
Work around:
+ Remove the usb-stick with the netinstaller before entering the
partioning phase of the installation.
Greetings,
Mark

last I checked, unetbootin was causing endless issues (at least when I
tried to use it to see how it went), and I'm afraid we're not going to
even try and support it.
Thanks for your bug report anyway.
