Bug ID: 222960
Summary: Installer suggests GPT+Active when booting in EFI mode
Product: Base System
Version: 11.1-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
When booting a Dell Precision T5810 in EFI mode, the installer recommends the
GPT+Active workaround. This would be correct in Legacy/BIOS mode, but it's
very harmful in EFI mode because the newly installed system won't boot. The
installer should only suggest the workaround when booting in Legacy/BIOS mode.
This has bitten two of my coworkers recently when they got new workstations.
