Build issues FC4 on Dell GX280

[Neil Marjoram]

I have been trying to load FC4 on my fleet of Dell GX280 small form 
factors. The systems are brand new, 2.8 Ghz, 512MB, 40 GB SATA drives.

Anaconda loads up, and I can get all the way until the installer starts 
to format the disks. The system then complains about not being able to 
tell the kernel about the changes to the partitions (all of them one 
after another) and then crashes with the error :

Error: Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition 
/dev/sdaX - Device or Resource busy. This means that linux won't know 
about any changes you made to /dev/sdaX until you reboot - so you  
shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting.

I have created my own partiton table manually using ext3 filesystems,

Can anyone help?

Neil.
