Just before doing the install I used fdisk to write an empty DOS partition table to the HD (/dev/sda). The failure was on Mac G5. I tested on PS3 and it works OK, so this is not a high priority bug for me. -Geoff
Looks like parted is detecting this as a pc98 partition table, judging from where the error message comes from.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Geoff: What does `parted DEVICE print free` spit out. Also, can you post the output of 'fdisk DEVICE -l`

Jean-Francois, Thanks for the info, parted seems to identify your disk correctly as an msdos partitioned disk (and not an pc98 one). Which version of parted did you use ? Can you please retry with parted from F-11 or F-12 ? If you are not running F-11 or F-12, could you boot a livecd and run parted from there ? Thanks, Hans As for the original reporter of this bug, and those who had duplicate bugs, also please try to run "parted /dev/sdX print" using F-11 or F-12 parted.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
