Attempting to install a second Fedora Atomic/Kinoite 44 system on the same disk consistently fails. Anaconda detects the existing OSTree deployment and incorrectly enters the GRUB2 multi‑boot path. It then attempts to run: Code grub2-mkconfig against OSTree layouts, which is unsupported. This results in a fatal crash during the bootloader write stage. Partitioning itself is valid — the failure is purely in the bootloader path selection.
