Created attachment 617616 [details] Screenshot of libparted probe on anaconda's behalf Description of problem: libparted has a really horrible time with sun formatted drives If you try and use a sun label formatted drive with anaconda libparted falls apart but I've not determined if this is down to the kernel or to libparted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc17 ISO version 3.0.3/4? How reproducible: Take any sun label disk (NOT ONE MADE BY PARTED!) try and use it as the install drive Actual results: (see screen shot attachment) Expected results: libparted to feed back the device specifics and later some moan about the format from anaconda Additional info: I'll provide the 512K header of the drive as formatted by solaris in another attachment
