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
