I forgot to create this bug as clone of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1026825 But I think it has nothing to do with kickstarter (I did not use it) You need to configure the EFI System partition as mountpoint at /boot/efi. The changes mentioned in bug 1051802 makes this more obvious. Attempting to leave custom partitioning without /boot/efi results in an error, and clicking on the error message will present a dialog with the following message: "No valid bootloader target device found. See below for details. For a UEFI installation, you must include an EFI System Partition on a GPT-formatted disk, mounted at /boot/efi." |
Created attachment 848653 [details] tty screenshot #1 Description of problem: I had a lot of troubles in installing Fedora on Dell laptop with a UEFI BIOS and windows 8. I disabled UEFI secure boot on the BIOS, then I tried to install Fedora in dualboot mode. Obtaining everytime a generic error (see screenshot and tty screenshot) made me try to erase all partitions with GParted and to recreate the partition table (msdos). Starting again the Fedora installer to install only Fedora, I got again the same generic error from Anaconda. So I tried to click on "automatically create tables" in Anaconda partitioning screen. That time Anaconda did not complain about, so I decided to go back in the partitioning screen to create an identical partitions layout but with different sizes. Again Anaconda gave me troubles with its generic error message. Then I was forced to let Anaconda automatically choose partitions and sizes (by clicking on "automatically create partitions" in Anaconda partitioning screen). Additional info: Installing from Fedora 20 KDE 64bit iso. fdisk output, taken when I was trying to install Fedora in dual boot mode.
