Description of problem: Custom paritioning of /boot/efi for EFI mode forgets to name the partition "EFI System Partition" and also forgets to set the 'boot' flag for the partition. Some BIOS accept this anyway, but anaconda isn't happy trying to re-use /boot/efi (for the next install) without the EFI markings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-18.16 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot installer in UEFI mode, choose custom partitioning. 2. Create partition for mount point /boot/efi, 50MB, EFI System Partition 3. Create partitions for /boot, /, and swap. 4. Finish Actual results: # parted /dev/sda (parted) print Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 53.5MB 52.4MB fat16 2 53.5MB 603MB 549MB ext4 3 603MB 17.5GB 16.9GB ext4 4 17.5GB 22.0GB 4503MB linux-swap(v1) Expected results: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 1 1049kB 53.5MB 52.4MB fat16 EFI System Partition boot 2 53.5MB 603MB 549MB ext4 3 603MB 17.5GB 16.9GB ext4 4 17.5GB 22.0GB 4503MB linux-swap(v1) Additional info: The UEFI BIOS on my ASUS mainboard does recognize and boot in UEFI mode the configuration which lacks the designated name and flag. But the next anaconda install on the same drive, where the user attempts to re-use /boot/efi, draws a complaint "you have not created a target for stage1 bootloader."
