Description Dejan Cabrilo 2008-04-23 09:49:10 UTC 
On my hard disk, before the installation, I had:
/dev/sda1
/dev/sda2

During the installation (using "yast2 live-installer") I told partitioner to erase entire hard drive, and create a new layout, which was same as before (but it was instructed to delete previous partitions and create new ones):
/dev/sda1 (/boot)
/dev/sda2 (LVM for /home and /)

However:
/dev/sda1 was already mounted, so partitioner failed.

I unmounted /dev/sda1, tried again, but after the installer recreated /dev/sda1, gnome again mounted it, and installer never got to create a new file system on it.

I ended up having to manually erase two existing partitions with cfdisk, reboot, and now the installer works fine.

Unfortunately, I can't :( I don't have the spare HD any more and can't risk losing my data. If anybody has a free HD and spare time, please try to recreate my scenario.
