[sle-beta] gmc install on aarch64

[Czanik, Péter]

Hi,

When trying to install GMC on an Aarch64 machine, it fails when there is an
existing OS on HDD. I had this problem both when I was trying to replace
Leap with SLES and the other way around. The error message is below.
Installation to an empty HDD works fine.
