Hello, seems that the EFI menu contains some not expected characters. Could you please share with us output of the efibootmgr tool? As a workaround you might be able to install your system with inst.leavebootorder kernel boot parameter which will skip the problematic code. https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boot-options.html#inst-leavebootorder Another way is to use efibootmgr to remove problematic entries manually. The question is if some existing entry is broken or Anaconda is not covering your case. To know that we need the output. i solved the problem with provided kernel paramater option thanks Looks like this is an issue with efibootmgr returning non UTF 8 strings:
12:22:43,768 WARNING org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Storage: File "/usr/lib64/python3.12/site-packages/pyanaconda/modules/storage/bootloader/efi.py", line 74, in efibootmgr

The efibootmgr code also does not look like it should be returning anything else than utf 8:
https://github.com/rhboot/efivar/blob/main/src/ucs2.h#L111
Maybe this is the same thing we are seeing ?
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ironic-python-agent/+bug/2015602
In any case, reassigning to efibootmgr.
efibootmgr is just showing you the data as it exists. We can't do anything about the fact that data is sometimes not utf-8; it's whatever is in the EFI variable. You're parsing this as utf-8, which isn't necessarily the case. In any case the efibootmgr output doesn't seem to be included in this report, so that's required before we could even propose workarounds. *** Bug 2292509 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 2254801 *** |
