Spent some time debugging this through IRC with jwb and pjones. The conclusion seems to be that my firmware is just bad. Fortunately, it allows booting through a « legacy » option, which I used to install, and everything works now. Closing. Another user experienced a similar problem: Created USB live medium from Fedora 21 Server DVD iso, with command-line tool. This allowed me to boot into Server installation (GUI live-usb-creator would not create a bootable USB). During installation, 'got error message that installation of bootloader failed and this machine would not be bootable - which it isn't... addons: com_redhat_kdump cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: BOOT_IMAGE=/syslinux/vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:UUID=CA81-BDFA rd.live.check quiet hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.17.1-302.fc21.x86_64 package: anaconda-21.48.13-1 product: Fedora" reason: BootLoaderError: failed to set new efi boot target.

(In reply to Igor Gnatenko from comment #16) > First, it's bug. if firmware is bad, we should address bug to kernel maint > and shouldn't see crash when closing window in anaconda. And do what exactly? First, anaconda is the one throwing the traceback here, not the kernel. Second, the kernel cannot magically fix bad firmware. Lying to userspace about something succeeding isn't a solution, and the error being returned is what anaconda is throwing its traceback for. |
