>Description:
When sysinst stops due to some failure, it fails to clean up the /mnt
mounts.
>How-To-Repeat:
Begin installing a system such that it will fail partway through --
use up some space on /tmp so it overflows, for example. Then correct
the problem and attempt to install again. When sysinst gets around to
mounting /mnt, it will fail because it is already mounted.
>Fix:
Workaround: reboot and try again, instead of restarting sysinst.
But really, sysinst should clean up the /mnt mounts when it aborts
for any reason.
