Description Reartes Guillermo 2012-12-16 00:42:55 UTC 
Created attachment 664200 [details]
screenshot showing the dupplicate biosboot entries

Description of problem:

This Guest is a replica of my main F17 system (with smaller disk sizes).

So, there are two biosboot partitions (vda1, vdb1).
But it is enough for anaconda to just install the bootloader into vda1.
I normally setup vdb1 manually later.

When i select the desired biosboot partition and mark it as 'reformat', it shows up twice in the 'New Fedora...' tree. 

Since there are two biosboot partitions (vda1 and vdb1) and i only intend
to reformat vda1, it might cause confusion. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 18.37.2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

0. Boot anaconda with 'gpt' boot parameter. I don't know if it is requiered, since the disks are already partitioned, but just in case.

1. Select my favorite anaconda settings (spanish, buenos aires, kde)

2. Enter STORAGE: INSTALLATION DESTINATION and select only vda and vdb.

3. Perform MANUAL PARTITIONING (Do not chage the scheme).

4. Expand the 'unknown' tree and select vda1 (biosboot). Expand the 'customize' 
tree and check 'reformat' and 'apply changes'. 

5. Expand the 'New Fedora 18...' tree and there will be two 'biosboot' entries 
instead of only one.

6. It is possible to perform the installation correctly. It looks like there are
two duplicated entries. 

  
Actual results:
it looks like a cosmetic issue. 

Expected results:
no duplicated entries in the 'New Fedora...' tree.

[18.37.11] screenshot showing duplicate BIOS Boot entries

Reproduced with anaconda-18.37.11-1.fc18 using one disk and gparted.

Create an empty disk image:
$ qemu-img create f18-test-3.img 12G

Start the Live image:
$ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-3.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Final/Final/Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso -vga qxl -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse

Install gparted and configure the disk with one bios_grub partition:
1. Create a gpt partition table.
2. Create an unformatted, 1 MiB partition.
3. Set the bios_grub flag on the partition.
4. Quit.

Start the installer.
Proceed to Manual Partitioning.
Click "+" to expand the Unknown installation.
Click "+" to expand Customize.
Click Reformat.
Click Apply Changes.
Click "+" to expand New Fedora 18 Installation.

BIOS Boot is displayed twice.
Both copies show sda1 as the name.
