From 385fc2cfc1e4d23fa75b4181ed9f1f50b4f709af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Ferass=20El=C2=A0Hafidi?= Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2024 14:46:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] README.md: mention parted bug in kernels between 5.8 and 6.0 (MR 2264) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Many have been unable to use pmbootstrap install on kernel versions between 5.8 and 6.0 as parted was giving the following error: Error: Partition(s) 1, <...>, 64 on /dev/install have been 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. And pmb couldn't find /dev/loop0p1: ERROR: Unable to find the first partition of /dev/loop0, expected it to be at /dev/loop0p1!
