I've stuck a Intel SSD into a (brand new) Lenovo X120e; the SSD identifies as "ATA INTEL SSD SA2CW12"; it's one of the new 120 GB/25 nm process drives.
The Fedora linux installer keeps dying on "you may need to initialize this drive"; best indication I've got is that this is because parted is dying: [root@localhost ~]# partprobe -s /dev/sda: msdos partitions Backtrace has 12 calls on stack: 12: /lib64/libparted.so.0(ped_assert+0x2e) [0x7f744f6b4a9e] 11: /lib64/libparted.so.0(+0x3bf36) [0x7f744f6ddf36] 10: /lib64/libparted.so.0(+0x3c31e) [0x7f744f6de31e] 9: /lib64/libparted.so.0(+0x3e176) [0x7f744f6e0176] 8: /lib64/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_add_partition+0x1a7) [0x7f744f6ba847] 7: /lib64/libparted.so.0(+0x3d61b) [0x7f744f6df61b] 6: /lib64/libparted.so.0(+0x3ee63) [0x7f744f6e0e63] 5: /lib64/libparted.so.0(ped_disk_new+0x58) [0x7f744f6baca8] 4: partprobe() [0x4011bb] 3: partprobe(main+0x145) [0x400f65] 2: /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xed) [0x7f744e20d31d] 1: partprobe() [0x400fb1] A bug has been detected in GNU Parted. Refer to the web site of parted http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html for more information of what could be useful for bug submitting! Please email a bug report to bug-parted@gnu.org containing at least the version (2.3) and the following message: Assertion (head_size <= 63) at dos.c:661 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed. Aborted (core dumped) I can manually partition the drive with fdisk (and then stick an ext2 file system on it and mount it, do the usual tests with touch and copying of files back and forth); I can't do so with parted. Let me know if there's more information I can send you! Thanks!
