Regression: Easier way to reproduce is with a GPT disk with 1 partition, and enough free space for Fedora, and using the default "Automatically configure" option, then clicking continue. Proposing as a beta blocker: "When using the guided partitioning flow, the installer must be able to cleanly install to a disk with a valid ms-dos or gpt disk label and partition table which contains existing data and sufficient unpartitioned space for a Fedora installation." Work around requires that I use manual partitioning. Created attachment 814308 [details] c4 storage.log storage.log with simpler reproduce steps. Why does blivet initially think it's unneeded? Seems similar to bug 1010495. 15:04:26,094 INFO blivet: skipping unneeded stage1 biosboot request This is reproducible in qemu/kvm using SeaBIOS. Discussed this in 2013-10-21 Blocker Review Meeting [1]. Accepted as a blocker per Beta criterion "When using the guided partitioning flow, the installer must be able to cleanly install to a disk with a valid ms-dos or gpt disk label and partition table which contains existing data and sufficient unpartitioned space for a Fedora installation."

The bootloader stage1 disk must be set before doAutoPartition is called. Could you give this a try (against TC5)? http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/1021258.img It moves the bootloader execute back the way it was. It also fixes reusing an existing /boot/efi in autopart. (In reply to Brian C. Lane from comment #9) > Could you give this a try (against TC5)? > http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/1021258.img Fixes this bug. anaconda-20.25.4-1.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-20.25.4-1.fc20 Bug no longer occurs with Fedora-20-Beta-TC6-x86_64-DVD.iso 20.25.4-1 went stable as part of FEDORA-2013-20033, and the fix was verified, so this can be closed. |
