It's a lenovo thinkpad (edge). I remember a bug about some
thinkpad models having problem with gpt, but it would seem to me as an extreme action if
all lenovo models were blacklisted. Gpt was working just fine on F16 on the same
hardware.
I'm going to guess that it's easier to blacklist a make, than individual
models.
I'm wondering if there is a grub option to force gpt for
anaconda.
One way to opt in is to use parted or gdisk to make a GPT without a partition,
then tell Anaconda to use the "Use Free Space" installation type. Actually, only
the "Use All Space" causes a change in partition scheme, so you could also make
a single partition GPT disk with parted or gdisk, and also use the "Replace Existing
Linux System" option.
