Description Chris Roberts 2014-07-31 16:31:10 UTC
Description of problem:

when trying to select manual partitioning during RHEL7 install, the error "you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device" while the /boot/ and /boot/efi are present


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

when trying to select manual partitioning during RHEL7 install, the error "you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device" while the /boot/ and /boot/efi are present


Actual results:
you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device

Expected results:
it to complete install

Additional info:

The OS loading interface for RH has a lot of things that I do not know about and are not very plane.  I tried to build the machine using the automatic partitioning.  When I did it came back asking if I wanted to get rid of the current disk partitions.   In the interface it does not show or say anything about the current partitions except a closed list  that means nothing to  the unexperienced user.   When it said that where was something already there I expanded the partitions and saw them.    The interface should expand the partition list and ask the user if any of the old partitions need to be preserved.  
That error message I was getting was incorrect.  It should have said that there are old partitions that are messing up the new load.
