Clarification:  It looks like your install proceeded after
the system error.  Did you end up with a working system?
(It's not clear to me what it was trying to do at
the time of failure, nor what device is in question.)

I see some sample error messages for 7.0, but not
the "busy" error:
 http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/gotchas/7.0/gotchas-7-6.html

A Google search turns up this message if you look for:
 anaconda linux resource busy

... but the first two were in Chinese and German, and
I didn't look any further at this point.

I hope someone else can help, and the above search may
reveal something.  I may get a chance to look further
later on.

Good luck,

Vic
