RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 02:51:39 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 tonioc 2014-01-23 19:33:20 UTC
just felt into this trap. 
I was trying to get a CentOS 6.5 on a new desktop PC (core-I3) in multi-boot beside the pre-installed W8. 
At the moment, I did not find a way to overcome it. 

Any idea or waorkaround for this issue would be welcome; 

regards,
antonio.

Created attachment 909468 [details]
traceback - anaconda-13.21.220

I have hit this bug recently during verification bug 974996.

Steps to reproduce:

1. On HDD old installation including EFI partition exists
2. Start new installation
3. Select "Custom partitioning"
4. Select proper partition/lvm for reformat as / DONOT select any EFI partition
5. Continue with default values

Current result
- anaconda does not complain about missing EFI partition
- anaconda fails with attached traceback during bootloader installation

Expected result
- installation without is /boot/efi is finished with warning or anaconda refuse to continue

Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2014-06-17 15:51:09 UTC

Management has requested further review of this request by
Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux release for currently deployed products.
This request is not yet committed for inclusion in a release.

Comment 6 Brian Lane 2014-06-17 17:15:22 UTC
Give this updates image a try. Add updates=http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/991620.img to the kernel cmdline when booting to use it.

Comment 7 Petr Janda 2014-06-18 08:55:53 UTC
It is better - anaconda requires /boot/efi
But message it use is misleading a bit. Anaconda complains that user hasn`t  created /boot/efi partition, but with pre-existing one user has to reuse it - creating new does not help... and message is still the same - "You have not created /boot/efi partition"

Comment 9 Brian Lane 2014-07-18 00:57:57 UTC
*** Bug 1119383 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 10 Petr Janda 2014-09-10 11:16:24 UTC
OK, message is still same "You have not created /boot/efi partition" but it works.

verified on RHEL-6.6-20140903.0
anaconda 13.21.227
