Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2011:1565 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE anaconda bug fix and enhancement update 2011-12-06 00:39:12 UTC

Description Brian Lane 2011-03-22 23:13:40 UTC 
On EFI the partition editor doesn't throw an error if there is no separate /boot partition setup.

1. Create a default partition layout and edit the settings.
2. Delete the /boot partition
3. Proceed with install.

Traceback in booty/x86.py writeGrubConf because bootDev is a LVM device and you cannot put /boot on an LVM. SanityCheck in storage catches this on non-EFI with the platform.checkBootRequest() but on EFI it sets the boot path to /boot/efi which passes the checks.
