Attempting to install latest flash on Mac OS X 10.6.8 fails, appending the following two lines to /var/log/install.log:
... installer[366]: JS: Flash Player Install: Performing volume check for /
... installer[366]: JS: Flash Player Install: Error: Non-OS Volume detected.
Also tried uninstall, which succeeds, but behavior on install is unchanged.
There is nothing unusual about the root partition (which is the only partition);
no dual-boot or other funkiness.
wazzup?

Are you installing from the installer or the Flash Player.pkg inside the installer?

I'm running 'Install Adobe Flash Player.app' located at the top level
of the Flash Player volume mounted by running the downloaded dmg.

Behavior is unchanged (except that it puts up a shell window to run the
command).

What format is your Mac HD?

We really need an Adobe developer to chime in with what, exactly, the
"volume check" is doing.
I should say that flash has been working on this computer for years;
now, since I did an uninstall in an attempt to correct the failed install,
it doesn't work. I am massively annoyed.
