RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Chris Roberts 2014-07-31 16:31:10 UTC 
Description of problem:

when trying to select manual partitioning during RHEL7 install, the error "you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device" while the /boot/ and /boot/efi are present


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

when trying to select manual partitioning during RHEL7 install, the error "you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device" while the /boot/ and /boot/efi are present


Actual results:
you have not created a bootloader stage1 target device

Expected results:
it to complete install

Additional info:

The OS loading interface for RH has a lot of things that I do not know about and are not very plane.  I tried to build the machine using the automatic partitioning.  When I did it came back asking if I wanted to get rid of the current disk partitions.   In the interface it does not show or say anything about the current partitions except a closed list  that means nothing to  the unexperienced user.   When it said that where was something already there I expanded the partitions and saw them.    The interface should expand the partition list and ask the user if any of the old partitions need to be preserved.  
That error message I was getting was incorrect.  It should have said that there are old partitions that are messing up the new load.
