Created attachment 592519 [details] tar -cj of /tmp/*log after install. Juicy error message in program.log Description of problem: Install runs fine (showing LVM disk lv partitions on top of MDADM which is on top of IMSM fake-RAID disks). At the last stage (writing bootloader) it reports that it failed to write bootloader and the system might not boot. At reboot the system does indeed not boot. I chose the default boot loader install point (the MDADM device, in this case /dev/md126) I get an error message in program.log about grub2-bios-setup not liking LDM Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time (tried Live and DVD versions) Steps to Reproduce: 1. RAID10 setup on IMSM as only disk, appears as /dev/md126 in Linux 2. install Windows 7 in primary partition(s) 2. Make extended partition with LVM pv and 250 MB log. partition for /boot 3. install F17 in volume groups from LVM, mounting /boot on logical partition 4. accept default choice for bootloader install: "/dev/md126." (with ., not ") 5. At end of install, warning "There was an error installing the bootloader" 6. click reboot (which is done, not like the bad old days) 7. get dropped into GRUB prompt Actual results: GRUB complains about unrecognised file system

(In reply to comment #1) > Created attachment 592520 [details] > Logs of successful F16 install, no error, no message about LDM No; that is logs from F17, exactly the same as 592519. In both cases: 15:45:02,656 INFO program: Running... grub2-install --no-floppy /dev/md126 15:45:05,590 ERR program: /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: this LDM has no Embedding Partition; embedding won't be possible. 15:45:05,596 ERR program: /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged.. 15:45:05,596 ERR program: /usr/sbin/grub2-bios-setup: error: will not proceed with blocklists. It really looks like grub has/had a real or perceived problem with LDM. Could you try to run yum update grub2 to get beta6 and run grub2-install manually?
