Description Vladimir Zawalinski 2015-04-06 03:10:22 CEST 
Description of problem:
Partitioner, whether invoked from control centre or console, crashes immediately

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Mageia 5 (Cauldron, RC Round 5 distribution 64 bit, classical installer, KDE)

How reproducible:
Every Time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. UEFI system
2. Define motherboard firmware raid
3.Boot and invoke MCC partitioner tool

This seems to be a leftover after the changes for firmware raid support, with the common symptom "unknown partition table  ..  /dev/sdb". Appears similar to diskdrake failure that was occuring in 14330.

Comment 3 Vladimir Zawalinski 2015-04-07 01:34:20 CEST 
This problem does not happen if the system is booted with the noiswmd kerenel parameter added in grub. AS Megeia 5 will be released with this parameter as default, I am closing ths bug.
