I decided to try installing from the Fedora 37 *beta* image (you can get it off the Internet Archive) and that works. So something changed between the beta and final that's causing this issue. I am also experiencing this issue on an intel mac - iMac 13,1. I am attaching log output from the installer as well as efibootmgr output. Created attachment 1926536 [details]
install log
Created attachment 1926537 [details]
efibootmgr -v output
I believe this bug is a duplicate of: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2142968 I'm experiencing the same issue (bug reporter said it is duplicate of this issue but it failed to create a new comment). I tried to install Fedora37 Gnome and also Plasma Spin on my MacbookPro 2012 Intel and regardless of how I create partitions and etc. it keeps failing with the same error. I also created the bootable USB using Balena Etcher 1.18.4. The following is the sha256sum of the last iso file I downloaded and tried: ❯ sha256sum Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-37-1.7.iso 773677e3940a972e8f2c62b1e9907579ad1e5a380466ce4e751bd52a3e1e427a Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-37-1.7.iso I hope these info helps addressing the issue easier. Added bootloader team on CC. Could you please take a look on this issue what could be wrong? *** Bug 2239537 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
