3.7  Linux RedHat Installation Notes 
Due to the compatibility limitation between Linux  RedHat 7.3 (and up) and some types of HDD, 
the following warning message may appear during  Linux installation: 
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/hd
Device or resource busy, this means Linux knows nothing about any modifications you made. 
You should reboot your computer before doing anything with /dev/hd* (hd* refers to the 
HDD’s method of connection, e.g. , the master device of IDE0 is /dev/had while the master 
device of IDE1 is  /dev/hdc). 
In this case, you can select the “Ignore” key until the warning message window is closed. T hen 
you  may encounter two different possibilities depending on whether the Linux partition on the 
HDD was implemented  the first time or  not. 
First possibility
When the HDD has RedHat 7.3 (and up) present in the Linux partition (and the current 
installation is only for modifying, deleting, or adding a Linux partition), then the 
installation program will continue with the rest of the process. 
Second possibility
When the HDD  does not have RedHat 7.3 (and up) present in the Linux partition (even if 
there is any other type of partition existing, e.g., NTFS), the installation program may show 
this message – 
An error occurred trying to initializ e swap on device hdc3, this 
problem is serious and the installation cannot continue, Press 
Enter to reboot your system
 
to suggest that you reboot your system. T hen you can re- install RedHat 7.3 (and up) to solve 
this issue (you may encounter the warning message on the first possibility, just ignore it). 
NOTES
The above possibilities may occur when you use a type of HDD which is not compatible 
with Linux O/S. I f you use the latest version (e.g., Linux RedHat 9.0 or the new 
Seagate Alpine series HDD), then the above possibilities may not occur. 
The above possibilities will not affect system performance.
