Between this bug and bug #866028 I am unable to successfully install F18 Beta RC1 on this machine - also it seems strange that the first time I tried installing I got but #866028 but then a second try and I got this one instead - shouldn't it be deterministic and fail the same in both cases? Since in both cases I chose to use Automatic Partitioning with LVM and to create space by deleting some existing partitions... Will try a non-LVM (aka raw ext4 partitions) install tonight and see if that works any better. Actually looks more like an invalid EFI boot table entry problem - like in bug #873629 - will see if perhaps resetting the NVRAM fixes it... Resetting the NVRAM + PRAM didn't help in my case... so either Apple's EFI Firmware does have invalid variables in it OR the latest kernel's are flagging valid variables as invalid... Am duping this against bug #873629 since it looks like the problem is in efibootmgr / kernel not anaconda. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 873629 *** |
