Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
During installation a dialogue box appears with the following text: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda2 -- Device or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda2 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. Screenshot attached. If I click Ignore, the installer pops up the same dialogue except referring to /dev/sda3. The installer then continues after clicking Ignore on that one. Both /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda3 on my system are Unix partition types, which may shed some light: sda2: FreeBSD sda3: Solaris ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Feb 20 20:19:07 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 LiveMediaBuild: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100220) Package: ubiquity 2.1.22 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-13.18-generic SourcePackage: ubiquity Uname: Linux 2.6.32-13-generic i686 ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 lucid -- During installation "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/XXX -- Device or resource busy" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525033 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
