Description of problem: Hello, i have a MDEION MD95300 (http://www.medion.de/flash/md95300/html/service.html). installation of f16 RC5 i686 works fine (with and without LUKS). After the installation and restart, the BIOS tells: Hard disk boot sector invalid Press 'H' to retry Hard Disk, any other key for floppy I have done a low-level formatting before. What can i do, or post you for help, to fix this problem? I think it is a problem with the GPT. Thank you an greetings from germany. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install F16 RC5 2. Restart after installation Expected results: System should boot. Additional info: You can download some information (from f16 live boot): dmesg: http://pastebin.com/nCC9s6ye lspci: http://pastebin.com/nZpMscet lsusb: http://pastebin.com/MvKTiu1j fdisk: http://pastebin.com/qL5MJHSj lshw: http://pastebin.com/CUZasWzU screenshot of gparted: http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot-Pt74PDrq.1320660568.png
nogpt boot option and MSDOS fix the problem. Need further information for a white/black list? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 735733 ***

"did you use the latest available BIOS?" yes
thanks. i think we're not really trying to construct a comprehensive system-by-system blacklist atm, we generally are of the opinion that blacklists have too much of a cost in terms of maintenance and sometimes-being-wrong. we blacklisted all Lenovo systems just because so many of them seem to be broken and a _lot_ of people run Lenovos. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
