The work around is to manually delete the superfluous (lower numbered) 200MB+ HFS+ partitions, leaving the most recent intact. dlehman has a fix for this on newui branch, strangely enough. Does not yet appear to be in today's TC6. Maybe RC1 hopefully. This is not a blocker, it won't be in F17. It has been added to rawhide. Suggest a mention in Common Bugs: Re-installing Fedora 17 on Macs in EFI mode creates superfluous 200MB HFS+ partitions. When re-installing Fedora 17 on Macs using EFI boot, and choosing the "Replace Existing Linux" installation type, the previous 200MB HFS+ partition used as /boot/efi will not be replaced. Instead a new one will be created. Both old and new boot options will appear in the option-key startup boot menu, and in Mac OS System Preferences > Startup Disk panel. It will not be clear which option is functional. To avoid this ambiguity, delete the 200MB HFS+ partition prior to re-installing Fedora 17, either from within the Anaconda user interface, or a CLI tool capable of editing a GPT. This does not affect first time installs. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** Bug 810646 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
