  • RHEL 7.8 installation on HP Envy x360 laptop aborts on partition definition

    Posted on

    fdisk outputI'm trying to install RHEL 7 on HP Envy x360 laptop.
    However, as soon as the 'Done' is clicked in the 'Partition Definition' stage, the installation is aborted with the attached messages.

    Unknown error occured

    Unknown error occured - debug

    How to recreate:
    * Complete the Windows 10 installation
    * Create an installation USB containing RHEL 7.8 DVD ISO image
    * Boot the HP Envy x360 laptop and press F10 to get to the boot menu
    * Set the USB to be the first boot device
    * Insert the RHEL 7.8 Installation USB into a USB port on the HP laptop
    * Power off/on the laptop
    * Choose English as language and click on 'Done'
    * Choose 'Define Partitions' and click 'Done'
    at this stage the installation bombs.

    Note:
    The exact same behaviour occurs when trying to install RHEL 7.6/7.7 and CentOS 7.6/7.8. fdisk output
