Installer WebUI Critical Error: Installation of the system failed: Installing boot loader org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.BootloaderInstallationError: boot loader install failed This happens when I try to create a 1MB biosboot partitions. Instead, it creates just a 512-byte partition. (This was mentioned in bug 2263871 comment 8). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use cockpit partitioning to create a 1 MB biosboot partition (change the unit first and place the value second, to avoid bug 2263871). Of course when using BIOS boot. 2. create remaining partitions 3. start installation 4. crash during end of installation

Proposing as a Beta blocker: " When using both the installer-native and the blivet-gui-based custom partitioning flow on the GTK-based installer, and the Cockpit-based custom partitioning flow on the webui-based installer, the installer must be able to: Assign sizes to newly-created storage volumes and containers Reject or disallow invalid disk and volume configurations without crashing.

This is fixed in 311 and waiting in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cockpit/pull-request/236 for an anaconda-webui release. It already landed in F38/F39.

In my testing, this seems resolved in Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-40-20240216.n.0.iso.
