After the installer fails and the user exits, and the user chooses to "clean up," the /mnt/gentoo system remains mounted. When the installer is run again, and the user clicks "recommended layout", the following error message is displayed: "Could not create <PedFileSystemType object at 0xb6e03c20> filesystem on /dev/hda1" and installation will not continue properly. Workaround: unmount /mnt/gentoo/* and restart installer To fix: the installer should detect if the HD is already mounted (either by the user or by a failed installation attempt before). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
The GTK frontend now checks when loading the partitioning screen for mounted partitions or activated swaps on any drives it detects. It gives you a big fat warning about it and tells you to unmount them, but will let you continue.
