           Summary: Installation aborted due to mounted partition, expect
                    correction possibility
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Beta 2 plus
          Platform: i586
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: richard.bos@xxxxxxxxx

The installation of suse-10.2b aborted due to a mounted partition, to be
used by the new linux.  Reproduction scenario:

- Install suse-10.2
- When the install linux is up, mount e.g. /dev/hda1 at /mnt
  (I had to do that, to verify the partition table ((/mnt)/etc/fstab)
- Proceed the installation with custom partitioning and assign /dev/hda1
  to e.g. '/' and have the partition formatted
- Proceed with the installation.  As soon as the installation wants to
  make the file system in /dev/hda1 the installation is aborted.  It falls
  back from the QT interface to the ncurses interface.

I would expect yast2 to stop/interrupt the installation and give the
user the possibility to correct the problem.  After the user unmounted
the partition /dev/hda1, yast should continue with the installation.
This seems doable to me.  This would save the user a lot of time as it would
prevent to do the whole installation over again!
