Screenshot of error from Staging K Media

The submission of 5.8.9/5.8.8 to Factory is stuck in staging as a result of
breaking all installation tests

https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/834173

https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/1399894#step/start_install/4

The openQA result is not very useful, so I recreated the problem on a local VM,
which revealed the problem is coming from parted

been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change,
probably because it/they are in use.  As a result, the old partition(s) will
remain in use.  You should reboot now before making further changes"

This seems to suggest that the problem matches
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gparted/-/issues/111

The investigation documented there suggests we need the following kernel fix to
get things working back how they should:
