[gentoo-user] Mounting Problem with Gentoo Release 2005.0

[Mark Brown]

I was assisting on an gentoo install for my friend's computer using the 
newly released 2005.0 install CD. The install CD boots up fine, but 
after I partition the hard drive and create the filesystem (reiserfs) I 
cannot mount the newly created OS.

The error it stated was:
mount: /dev/hda1 already mounted or /mnt/gentoo busy
This is pretty strange since the disk is not mounted and I am able to do 
other operations on the block device.

I get the same error when I try to run swapon on partition 2.
swapon: device or resource busy
Thanks in advance,
