UEFI installation fails and shows 'an Alternate GPT header is not at the end of the disk' error.
Issue
- After the partitions are done and during the part of the install process where the filesystems are created, getting an error message an "exception that cannot be handled" has occurred,
- Anaconda suggesting that to report it as a bug. From the details of the message getting this "an Alternate GPT header is not at the end of the disk" and the install fails completely.

Suggest a way to get this installation done ?
