Description of problem: Installing Mageia 6 Classic installer fails wheen trying to install on a brand new disk Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put a brand new disk in PC (UEFI) connected on first SATA port, thus detected as /dev/sda 2.try to define one (or more) partitions on it using Custom Partitioning. The first partition proposed by the installer is /boot/EFI, thereafter you can do your own thing 3.get error : "Error in part#3" and partition table is not written to the disk, even if only 2 partitions are defined. I got out of this by using Live Knoppix and Gparted to write a FAT partition to the whole disk, and then restarting the Mageia installation.
It's a pity you already found a workaround and continued, so you can no longer reproduce this issue... or did you buy two such disks? ;-) @ anyone hitting this issue, _please_ * switch to tty2 when getting the error * insert a USB key * type bug * attach report.bug that was written to the USB key to this bug report It would also be nice to know whether diskdrake in an installed system or on a Live iso have similar problems.

Closing as OLD, since this was never confirmed and there are no logs.
