Description of Problem: Trying to install with GUI installer in VMware with a new virtual disk. The installer seems to detect a disk and that it has an invalid on non-existent partition table. It asks if I want it initialized, I answer yes, and another dialogue appears indicating that there are no valid disks in the system and to check my hardware. I'm able to start a text install and get to the point of initializing the disk and then reboot and retry the GUI installer. At that point, it gets past asking for all of the information it needs and begins the install. But it then fails on initializing the swap space. The text installer does not have any of these problems. I know VMware is not a supported platform, but this problem seems pretty generic. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.2.90-6 How Reproducible: Every time with a new virtual (VMware) disk that has NO partition table. Haven't tried with a real disk, but it's hard to find a disk with no partition information. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new VM in VMware, or install a disk with no partition info in a test system. 2. Attempt to do a GUI install 3. Answer yes when anaconda asks if you want to initialize the disk Actual Results: Anaconda (GUI) does not find a valid disk. Expected Results: Anaconda should initialize the disk. Additional Information:
We do not support vmware installations. Apparently vmware is not properly emulating PC hardware.
