So it looks like this is because both /sys/firmware/edd/int13_dev80/interface and /sys/firmware/edd/int13_dev81/interface on this machine contain: SAS unknown: 4433221100000000 0 Which in turn is because edd_show_interface() in the kernel's edd module doesn't have any code to handle SAS interfaces and falls through to a default that prints "unknown" and the raw address data. In this case they are actually SATA disks connected to a Fusion-MPT SAS2308 controller but that probably doesn't matter. This is a regression from F24 which installed fine on the same hardware.
Booting the installer with modprobe.blacklist=edd on the kernel command line will allow the F25 installer to run and avoid this bug.
That was nonsense, as I was actually still booting the F24 installer... Adding edd=off as a workaround does work however.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
