Storage modification failed 5004

this bug might be related to 112958 or not a bug at all because of the warning that it might not work. RC3, install over SLP(http), custom partitioning, selected a partition as / and forget to select "format". Pop-up with warnings, ignore them (click no). Start installation, Storage modification error pops up. see y2log and screenshot

YaST does not expect to find and entry for a filesystem (in your case /) he wants to add in /etc/fstab if he is doing a new installation. So far I did not think about your use case (not formatting a previusly used root partition). I probably will change this after 10.0 is finished so that it will not abort but replace the existing fstab line and log a warning instead.
fixed in SVN for SL 10.1
