Description Othman Madjoudj 2011-08-02 21:18:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

Anaconda used in Fedora 16 Alpha TC1 is forcing GPT in non EFI BIOS (KVM guest with 18G disk space), in order to be able to boot I needed to add a BIOS boot partition but Anaconda crash 


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Fedora Installer in KVM guest (virt-install / pxeboot)
2. Try to create partition scheme manually: /boot (ext4), SWAP, / (ext4), BIOS boot

BIOS boot partitions should be of size 1MB. If you choose this size you will not hit this error, which will be fixed soon.
