re : not unmounting root - a clue

I have been putting together a "Redhat 5.0" cd ( w/ appropriate updates
) that uses the
2.1.125 kernel for our software product ( I know...bleeding edge, and
all that stuff ).
My installation all goes fine except at the end when it unmounts the
partitions before
rebooting. "Cannot unmount /mnt: busy". The part of the installation
that does the lilo
setup does a :

rename("/mnt/etc/lilo.conf", "/mnt/etc/lilo.conf.rpmsave");
rename("/mnt/etc/silo.conf", "/mnt/etc/silo.conf.rpmsave");

The file "lilo.conf" does not exist ( since this is an Install not an
Upgrade ) and
the file "silo.conf" does not exist ( since I am an x86 machine ).

If I comment out the rename calls , then the unmount works just fine,
thank you.
Some problem between glibc and the kernel ?

The glibc is from the glibc-2.0.7-29 rpms from Redhat 5.2.
