Description John A. Hull 2001-07-10 16:37:41 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; m18)
Gecko/20010131 Netscape6/6.01

Description of problem:
When installing onto a disk with no pre-existing disk label such as a newly
initialized raid container, disk druid states "Unable to open /tmp/sda --
unrecognized disk label."  After using parted to create an msdos disk label
and rebooting, disk druid continues normally.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install beta 1 on freshly initialized raid container	
2.Note "unrecognized disk label" error when disk druid tries to read disk label
3.
	

Expected Results:  Disk druid should create appropriat disk label on new
disk and continue normally.

You have to click Cancel on the "unable to read" dialog and then hit Yes on the
next dialog.
