Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Kubuntu i386 live 20100902.1
Using manual partioning I set up an ext3 partition and swap. Got the following error:
Error!!! Partiion(s) 5 on /dev/sda have 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.
Install went ahead anyway, so it must have sorted itself out.
