*Description of problem:
The automatic creation of mount points when there are other existing partitions is failing when fedora boots in UEFI mode ("Booting in insecure mode").

*Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora live workstation beta RC1
anaconda-gui-21.48.12-1.fc21.x86_64
anaconda-core-21.48.12-1.fc21.x86_64
libreport-anaconda-2.3.0-2.fc21.x86_64
anaconda-tui-21.48.12-1.fc21.x86_64
anaconda-21.48.12-1.fc21.x86_64
anaconda-widgets-21.48.12-1.fc21.x86_64
fedora-release-workstation-21-0.16.noarch
fedora-release-21-0.16.noarch

*How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot fedora beta RC1 with UEFI mode;
2. Select custom partitioning;
3. Considering the existence of at least two partitions, one being to install the fedora, click on Create mount points automatically;

Actual results:
The following mount points are not created: /boot/efi and /home

"Automatic partitioning failed." Details:
"You have not defined a root partition (/), Which is required for installation of Fedora to continue. In bootloader valid target device found. See below for detais. For UEFI installation, you must include an EFI System Partition on a GPT-formatted disk, mounted at /boot/efi"

Expected results:
Create the mount points /boot/efi and /home, as it is created when there are no other existing partitions.

Comment 2 Brian Lane 2014-10-30 01:14:00 UTC
You need to remove all of the existing partitions if you want to reuse a msdos labeled disk on a UEFI system which needs a gpt labeled disk to work properly.
