I forgot to mention, but this bugzilla is because I got the following pop-up The following error occurred while installing the boot loader. The system will not be bootable. Would you like to ignore this and continue with installation? Failed to set new efi boot target. This is most likely a kernel or firmware bug.
Can you try with a more recent image just in case this got fixed somehow? Use an F39 nightly from https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/nightlies.html . Thanks!
This is the problem: Oct 10 19:30:50 localhost-live org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Storage[2766]: INFO:program:Running in chroot '/mnt/sysroot'... efibootmgr Oct 10 19:30:50 localhost-live org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Modules.Storage[2766]: INFO:program:EFI variables are not supported on this system. which sounds familiar. This sounds like it's probably a dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2239316 .
