If this is the case no installation with whatever setup will suceed. Please make sure the kernel version of the running kernel and the modules in inst-sys match exactly. I had exactly the same behaviour some days ago in a bug report where kernel version and module version in inst-sys die not match. If kernel and modules match exactly, I need ssh access to an inst-sys where this problem can be observed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I make a custom partition of 10 gigs on /dev/hdb1 and after formatting I'm told: "Cannot mount this partition, it's already mounted or the device is busy". I've tried with reiser, ext3 multiple times, the result is the same. Making it impossible for me to install. As a side benefit my grub is also now useless and needs to be repaired ;-) Will try making the partition smaller and see if it works as a workaround as suggested by beineri. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
