I have a HP ProBook 470 G2, 750GB disk. Formatted by manufacturer, then repartioned by gparted 3.2 on Fedora 20 x86_64. The original windows partitions have been resized and moved to make way for a Fedora 22 (TC4) install. During start of the Fedora installer (Anaconda), a backtrace occurs in libparted. I've created a live USB stick and booted that, which succeeds on the machine. Trying many parted commands fails with the same error. The information from command just generates the same backtrace: --- Backtrace has 19 calls on stack: 19: /lib64/libparted.so.2(ped_assert+0x44) [0x7f8a48fda2f4] 18: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x20506) [0x7f8a48fed506] 17: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x11d5a) [0x7f8a48fded5a] 16: /lib64/libparted.so.2(ped_disk_add_partition+0x263) [0x7f8a48fdf653] 15: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x1fde5) [0x7f8a48fecde5] 14: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x1fe80) [0x7f8a48fece80] 13: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x1fe80) [0x7f8a48fece80] 12: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x1fe80) [0x7f8a48fece80] 11: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x1fe80) [0x7f8a48fece80] 10: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x1fe80) [0x7f8a48fece80] 9: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x1fe80) [0x7f8a48fece80] 8: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x1fe1f) [0x7f8a48fece1f] 7: /lib64/libparted.so.2(+0x20dd5) [0x7f8a48feddd5] 6: /lib64/libparted.so.2(ped_disk_new+0x49) [0x7f8a48fdf279] 5: parted() [0x407719] 4: parted(interactive_mode+0xff) [0x40c9ef] 3: parted(main+0x119f) [0x405f1f] 2: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xf0) [0x7f8a487b9790] 1: parted() [0x405f77] --- I can post the MBR data somewhere if that is useful.
