UEFI-based Network Install Fails with error "not enough free space on disks"

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are trying a network based install on an ESX based guest that is configured with UEFI bios.
  • The kernel sees the disks and via the Anaconda (text based) GUI you can select the disk, tell it to "Use All Space" & "LVM" partitioning but the installer repeatedly reports "not enough free space on disks"
