[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

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:

I can post the MBR data somewhere if that is useful. (tell me what you
need).

Dave.

You can install the debuginfo using:

debuginfo-install parted

And see how much more detail it gives.

Also, could you report this against fedora 22 using bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=parted
