Steps to reproduce: 1. On HDD old installation including EFI partition exists 2. Start new installation 3. Select "Custom partitioning" 4. Select proper partition/lvm for reformat as / DONOT select any EFI partition 5. Continue Current result - anaconda does not complain about missing EFI partition - anaconda fails with attached traceback during bootloader installation Expected result - anaconda doesn`t continue without EFI partition The traceback is occurring not because of the missing EFI partition, but because someone added a log statement and forgot to import our logging module. Regardless, this missed the cut-off for 6.5; pushing off to 6.6 planning. Created attachment 902270 [details]
