Since python-blivet-3.12.0 landed in F42 and Rawhide on 2025-02-15, all custom installs to UEFI are failing in openQA because "EFI System Partition" does not seem to be shown as an available filesystem type, so we can't create an ESP (which is needed for a UEFI install). *Automatic* UEFI installs do seem to work OK (and really are installing in UEFI mode, I checked). Also, the "Click here to create them automatically" option in the "custom" workflow works, and creates an EFI system partition. The issue really seems to be limited to the 'discovery' of what filesystems are available when manually specifying one. This is affecting both "custom" (anaconda's own custom mode) and "advanced custom" (blivet-gui), though most of the "custom" tests pass because they use the "create them automatically" workflow. Proposing as a Beta release blocker as a violation of the custom partitioning criteria, because this makes it impossible to complete an install to UEFI using the 'advanced custom' workflow, unless you have an existing ESP to reuse.

With Fedora-Server-dvd-x86_64-42_Beta-1.2.iso , I can create ESP manually in both custom and blivet disk config. This seems resolved.
