On a recent attempted install of fedora's rawhide I saw the following in my
anaconda.log file.
<4>=============================================
<4>[ INFO: possible recursive locking detected ]
<4>2.6.17-1.2571.fc6 #1
<4>---------------------------------------------
<4>anaconda/432 is trying to acquire lock:
<4> (&bdev->bd_mutex){--..}, at: [<c04658bb>] __blkdev_put+0x1f/0x11f

<4>but task is already holding lock:
<4> (&bdev->bd_mutex){--..}, at: [<c0465b4e>] do_open+0x6b/0x3b2
<4>
<4>other info that might help us debug this:
<4>1 lock held by anaconda/432:
