Description of problem:
When I try to install fedora 19 TC3 on my laptop with UEFI enabled and with custom partitioning (didn't try other options) it stops when it reaches to installing the bootloader and says that an unknown problem occurred, when I try to file a bug report it says that this bug is a duplicate of bug 947142, but as I wrote here, I use F19 final TC3. So, I hope I don't do here more work for any one by filing another bug.

How reproducible:
Just go in the bios of your computer and make it UEFI enabled if it's not and start the installation.

Actual results:
The system is unbootable.

Expected results:
Bootable system

Hard to say with any precision without the system log, but I'm pretty sure this is just another problem with setting UEFI variables in the kernel.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************

We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 19 kernel bugs.

Fedora 19 has now been rebased to 3.11.1-200.fc19.  Please test this kernel update and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.

If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 5 Josh Boyer 2013-10-08 17:11:35 UTC
This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a response in 2 weeks. If you are still experiencing this issue, please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are running and any data that might have been requested previously.
