It's a lenovo thinkpad (edge). I remember a bug about some thinkpad models
having problem with gpt, but it would seem to me as an extreme action if
all lenovo models were blacklisted. Gpt was working just fine on F16 on the
same hardware.

I'm wondering if there is a grub option to force gpt for anaconda.
