Description Stephan Mueller 2019-08-06 07:45:57 CEST

Description of problem:
After partitioning the installer spits out 'Can't call method "val" on an undefined value' and that's it. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 7.1 64bit

How reproducible:
100%

This is a machine with an Asus H170M-Plus mainboard and a Samsung 970 Pro m.2 SSD. Installation doesn't get past the partitioning/formatting.

No response from Stephan, but we have another recent identical bug with more information, so closing this older one as a duplicate of the newer one.
