yes
did you try setting : X86._disklabel_types = ['gpt']
I have not, as I was unaware this was possible. How/Where do I set that? I assume it's either a kernel option or something I put in %pre (is it a literal in %per?)... ? I found the method that checks that value but am not currently familiar enough with the code involved to trace it back.
also, worth noting that if you use EFI, its always going to be gpt
I've read a few things to that affect but we're currently not using EFI. I'm sure most (if not all) of our hardware is EFI capable but I don't know enough about it right now and don't have the cycles to recertify all of our processes again. I will keep it in mind for the future though.
