I found this error in the program.log:
/etc/grub.d/01_fallback_counting: line 4: ${boot_counter}-1: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "${boot_counter}-1")
It looks like grub2 issue. Switching component.
It happened again. Installing F29 server in a VM (KVM) using text console (FWIW). Partitioning Options 2) [x] Use All Space Partition Scheme Options 1) [x] Standard Partition Progress . Setting up the installation environment . Configuring storage .. Creating disklabel on /dev/sda Creating swap on /dev/sda2 Creating xfs on /dev/sda3 Creating ext4 on /dev/sda1 .. Running pre-installation scripts [...] Verifying zip.x86_64 (596/596) . Configuring storage . Installing boot loader ================================================================================ ================================================================================ Question The following error occurred while installing the boot loader. The system will not be bootable. Would you like to ignore this and continue with installation? failed to write boot loader configuration Please respond 'yes' or 'no': no An unknown error has occured, look at the /tmp/anaconda-tb* file(s) for more details Using this iso: Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-29-20181001.n.0.iso What version of grub2 is this? Seems related to this commit: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/grub2/c/f0ceaa75979540c04975611b0d7219faf39c2538 Alberto based on the packaging.log these grub2 packages were installed: grub2-common-1:2.02-60.fc29.noarch grub2-pc-modules-1:2.02-60.fc29.noarch grub2-tools-minimal-1:2.02-60.fc29.x86_64 grub2-tools-1:2.02-60.fc29.x86_64 grub2-tools-extra-1:2.02-60.fc29.x86_64 grub2-pc-1:2.02-60.fc29.x86_64 FYI, Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-29-20181005.n.0.iso can be installed successfully. Thanks Alessio for the info. In that case I'm closing this issue. I guess this was fixed by something else already. If the issue will show up again, please feel free to open this issue. |
