Description František Zatloukal 2024-10-08 17:28:57 UTC 
Description of problem:

An attempt to install Fedora to a system configuration with Firmware RAID ends up with "no usable configuration" message and Custom partitioning must be leveraged to be able to proceed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-41.34-1.fc41

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Anaconda on system with Firmware RAID configured
2. Attempt to use the automatic partitioning

Actual results:
"no usable configuration" unskippable error

Expected results:
Automatic partitioning should work normally on FW RAID systems.

Discussed at a blocker review meeting [1], agreed on the following:

AcceptedBlocker (Final) - this is accepted as a violation of "The installer must be able to detect and install to firmware RAID storage devices" when using guided partitioning
