With the usb install it placed the usb key into both places.

With the cd the hard drive ( sda ).

Both result in a non bootable system from harddrive.

When testing this are you using real physical hardware or VM?

This was an HP 620 I was using ( user wanted his laptop back and walked 
away with F15 on it which btw installed flawlessly ).

Just out of curiosity does all hardware support booting of GPT and if so 
does it require some bios config tweaks to get working?

As in can we hit scenarios when the installer detects GPT capable 
hardware installs accordingly then the user cant boot because it's not 
enabled in the bios config
or is installing GPT when it othewize should not?
