Created attachment 514182 [details] installer bug raport Description of problem: If one wants to install RHEL in UEFI environment using RAID device as boot partition it is not possible. The problem appears during an attempt to format FAT partition created to store efi grub and its config. (Installation log from anaconda attached) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 6.1 RC3/GA How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. change BIOS setup to EFI 2. create RAID device (as instalation destination) 3. start installation from DVD 4. point md device as installation target 5. format of fat partition fails Actual results: format of fat partition fails Expected results: format of fat partition succeeds and system is installed correctly Additional info: Quick investigation revealed, that mkdosfs invoked on md device informs that using whole device (not partition) requires use of -I switch. Problem can be resolved adding -I when mkdosfs is started, or upgrade mkdosfs to support md devices (as Novell does in SUSE).
