It looks like you tried installing on a disk with DOS partition table. Although the installer will use the correct partition type on a brand new disk, it won't _change_ partition types if it finds a partition table already there -- even if you tell it to throw away all partitions and start again. So install to a DOS-partitioned disk on a Mac, or to a Mac-partitioned disk on a PC, and you'll end up with an unbootable machine because anaconda _won't_ fix it, even though it knows what type of partition table you need. Some might consider that a bug worth reporting in bugzilla. The easy option is to boot a live cd again, use parted to write out an empty _MAC_ partition table, and reinstall. The cunning option is to see if you can set up a mac partition table which precisely matches the location of your original data on the disk. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
