Due to this bug I am unable to install Fedora on my Acer laptop. I used: * "Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 44" official release Live iso * "Fedora Media Writer" USB creation tool And there are steps to reproduce the bug using virtual machine (I used VirtualBox): 1. Attach "Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-44-1.7.x86_64.iso" to VM and boot 2. Create table/partitions using "KDE Partition Manager" or any other suitable tool: * Create GPT partition table on '/dev/sda' disk * fat32 - 512 MiB (for /boot/efi) * ext4 - 2 GiB (for /boot) * btrfs - all available space (for /) * apply all pending operations * I got partitions: * fat32 (/dev/sda1) * ext4 (/dev/sda2) * btrfs (/dev/sda3) * set 'boot' flag for fat32 (/dev/sda1) partition (via partition "Properties") * apply changes 3. Install system: * Launch desktop "Install to Hard Drive" * Language: "English (United States)" as default, press Next * Select "Mount point assignment", press Next * Select mount points: * "/" -> "btrfs.46" (got this btrfs name in VM) -> "Reformat" selected * "/boot/efi" -> "sda1" -> "Reformat" _NOT_ selected * "/boot" -> "sda2" -> "Reformat" selected * Press Next * Confirm "I understand that some existing data will be erased" * Click "Apply mount point assignment and install" 4. Wait and got 'anaconda' exception
Hello, all! Also I tested and encountered the same bug on the latest Fedora Desktop ISOs (v 1.7): * Workstation (Fedora-Workstation-Live-44-1.7.x86_64.iso) * KDE (Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-44-1.7.x86_64.iso) * xfce (Fedora-Xfce-Live-44-1.7.x86_64.iso) Obviously, using the current anaconda version you can not install Fedora with a btrfs (default one) root partition and "Mount point assignments" installation type using Live ISO images.

I discussed the bug on the "Fedora Discussion" forum with additional details and a workaround. May be useful for fixing. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/unable-to-install-fedora-44-using-mount-point-assignments/191357
