A recent kernel change has change the behavior of chmod on fat
filesystems:

fs/fat/: refine chmod checks
After this change rpm installs of kernels fail on ia64. This is because
efi systems use vfat for the boot filesystem. RPM installs fail because
cpio gets a error on chmod (before this kernel change it would fail
silently).
My suggestion was to have anaconda set the "quiet" option (which makes
chmod failures silent) for /boot/efi in fstab however they disagree (see
BZ 435319).
So, it seems like the options are: revert the patch (probably not a good
idea) make "quiet" the default for fat filesystems, or, convince
anaconda to add "quiet" to the fstab. Or, hopefully someone else has a
better idea.
thanks,
