3.9.5 is rather old at this point. If you hit this with the F20 Alpha media, please reopen.
This might an issue with the BIOS. Windows 7 warned that laptop might not boot after installing but it somehow managed to add an EFI entry and boots correctly: # efibootmgr Timeout: 10 seconds BootOrder: 0000 Boot0000* Windows Boot Manager The system is Samsung NP-R530-JA06PL with the latest BIOS atm (v. 07JD) http://www.samsung.com/pl/support/model/NP-R530-JA06PL-techspecs - polish link because apparently model is only sold in Poland but it should be similar to any NP-R530 model.

OK, reopening. How pleasant. Matthew, have you heard of any issues with Samsung EFI implementations like this?
