But if most users are testing it with non-Intel hardware, then we need to be doing the same. Otherwise, quirks of the specific hardware format could leak in and break things (or keep them working for you).

I don't remember the explicit case you're referring to, but I expect that I mostly was just lamenting the fact that "bios raid" has continuously been a source of pain and that this is more. Throwing random config things which have to be twiddled into the boot path don't really reduce the pain for the users (what do we set it to for the live image, eg?) and it just increases the maintenance pain Jeremy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
