With anaconda-28.2-1.fc28 and probably anaconda-27.20.1-2.fc27, UEFI installs crash during bootloader installation, with this traceback: File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/threading.py", line 252, in run threading.Thread.run(self) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/threading.py", line 864, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation.py", line 365, in doInstall installation_queue.start() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 304, in start item.start() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 304, in start item.start() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 472, in start self.run_task() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/installation_tasks.py", line 438, in run_task self._task(*self._task_args, **self._task_kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/bootloader.py", line 2490, in writeBootLoader writeBootLoaderFinal(storage, payload, instClass, ksdata) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/bootloader.py", line 2463, in writeBootLoaderFinal storage.bootloader.write() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/bootloader.py", line 1769, in write self.install() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/bootloader.py", line 1779, in install self.add_efi_boot_target() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/bootloader.py", line 1730, in add_efi_boot_target self._add_single_efi_boot_target(self.stage1_device) # pylint: disable=no-member File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/pyanaconda/bootloader.py", line 1722, in _add_single_efi_boot_target "-l", self.efi_dir_as_efifs_dir + self._efi_binary, # pylint: disable=no-member TypeError: must be str, not method I have already investigated and filed a fix for this: https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/1176 . But we need a bug report for FE / blocker purposes; we need a newer anaconda build to fix other blockers, but we can't use 27.20.2-1 with this bug in it. Thus proposing this as a Beta release blocker, per Alpha criterion "The installer must be able to complete an installation to a single disk using automatic partitioning" in the case of UEFI installs.

Discussed during blocker review [1]: AcceptedBlocker (Beta) - clearly violates several "must be able to complete an install" criteria, in the case of a UEFI install [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2017-09-11/
