Installing Fedora 17 into VirtualBox 4.1.18 r78361

I can successfully install Fedora 17 into VirtualBox when using the IDE controller, but I am not successful when using the default SATA controller. Fedora 16 installs fine on the SATA controller. I have tried passing several options to the kernel on boot, including libata atapi_passthru16=0 and pnpacpi=off

These options have not been effective. Installation halts after the progress bar is fully complete, but before Grub2 writes to the boot sector.

Attached is the error log. The relevant line seems to be

Code:
SystemError: (32, 'umount: /mnt/boot: target is busy.\n        (In some cases useful info about processes that use\n         the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))')
The machine is a Asus P8Z68 Deluxe/Gen3 and there are 2 SATA hard drives running in RAID in SSD Caching mode (one SSD drive, one regular SATA III drive). The Fedora installation filename is Fedora-17-x86_64-Live-XFCE.iso

Any help will be appreciated! I'm a little stuck.

Re: Installing Fedora 17 into VirtualBox 4.1.18 r78361

Ok, this isn't quite what I want, but it's a solution. I used the standard Fedora 17 64 Bit DVD to install and everything worked.

I guess there is something slightly incompatible with the version of VirtualBox I used and the Fedora 17 64 Bit XFCE Spin CD. I also had trouble shutting down the VM that I successfully install using an IDE drive -- VirtualBox crashed. But that might be unrelated.

I have successfully used the XFCE Spin CD on a regular system (non-VM) so I think it's mostly okay.

Is this worthy of a bug report?

I think this was caused by a bug in udisks2, libudisk2 or a bad udev.
It is working now in vbox41-18 with f17.

Suggest that you cleck on the updates repo during install to get pass the garbage.
