[Bug 1916356] Re: The installer failed to create partition on disk with EFI (not BIOS)
Nevermind that test I mentioned; leok already figured it out. ;)
** Description changed:
See attached bugs for longer explanation but basically due to some
changes in core software (dosfstools) EFI installs fail to create
partitions because a null label is no longer acceptable. There is now a
fix in kpmcore, which is what Calamares uses to do this work, that
essentially sets "NO_LABEL" instead of a null ("") label.
+
+ Workaround: manual partitioning expressly setting labels on all
+ partitions.
