@ Phil, while I'm sure there are other ways of reproducing this look at
comment #15. I can reliably reproduce this in a *buntu dual boot time
and time again. I'm suspicious of ubiquity-partman but that's just a
guess.

Title:
  Error informing the kernel about modificatons

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux-ppc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When installing the desktop powerpc image, the installer comes up with
  an error message:

  "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partitino /dev/sda3
  - Device or resource busy.  This means Linuxc won't know about any
  changes you made to /dev/sda3 until you reboot - so you shouldn't
  mount it or use it in any way before rebooting."

  I made no changes.  The installer comes up with this error all on its
  own right before the "Where are you?" screen.
