you have to boot with "noefi" as kernel-param to get
rid of this whole GPT/EFI crap and end in a successful
customized disk layout

this took me THREE HOURS last monday to get a machne
setup with 3 raid1 (/boot, / and /data), really poor
have a OS installer not supporting /boot on a mirrored
RAID leading in a unbootable system if the wrong disk
fails in the year 2012

the F16 error message is useless, so i burned
F15 again, got a better error message which brought
the "noefi" option by google and since it was a DVD-RW
after the first setup upgrade to F16

anaconda is really one of the most hated things of
me since many years and because F17 alpha falls back
on text-installation while manual partitioning is
rmeoved in text-mode currently more than ever
