Another user experienced a similar problem: I started the install, let it go for a while, and then when I went to check on it, I saw that it had failed. cmdline: /usr/bin/python3 /sbin/anaconda --liveinst --method=livecd:///dev/mapper/live-base cmdline_file: BOOT_IMAGE=/isolinux/vmlinuz0 root=live:LABEL=Fedora-Live-KDE-x86_64-23-10 ro rd.live.image quiet rhgb hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 4.2.3-300.fc23.x86_64 other involved packages: python3-libs-3.4.3-5.fc23.x86_64 package: anaconda-core-23.19.10-1.fc23.x86_64 product: Fedora reason: pyanaconda.bootloader.BootLoaderError: failed to set new efi boot target. This is most likely a kernel or firmware bug. release: Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three) version: 23 I think the duplicate entry is because it had problems uploading the information. I had only one system in the past few minutes have this issue. Please attach the logs from /tmp at the time of the crash as individual, text/plain attachments. I tried rebuilding this system last night and hit the same issue. This morning, I tried for a third time, and I was able to install successfully. I was able to install on this system before, but there were issues and so that's why I was doing the reinstall. Hopefully this install is a good one and I won't need to rebuild it. I have two other systems to install, but they're both Dells and this problem one is Lenovo. I'll update this if I have more issues. In case it matters, I'm booting off of a usb thumb drive and then doing a net install. Another user experienced a similar problem: 1.
