Description of problem: When installing on a non-EFI system, the pmbr_boot flag is set, regardless of whether or not autopart is used. When installing an EFI system on a disk that has been previously used for a non-EFI install, the flag is not cleared (using autopart or not) and causes some EFI systems to skip over the EFI entry after the installation is complete. Hardware: Asus Sabretooth 990FX AMD FX-8500 Samsung 830 SSD Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-17.29 How reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a non-EFI system 2. Reuse the same boot disk for an EFI install 3. Reboot Actual results: Some systems are not able to boot an EFI entry on a disk with the pmbr_boot flag set Expected results: The pmbr_boot flag should be cleared so that there are no potential issues with booting the installed system. Workarounds: The pmbr_boot flag can be easily cleared with parted.
