This was a good thread and is tied in with my experience
this weekend. I had a very old laptop with F13 that had not
been booted in years. I tried to load F21 on it using the
same partitions (and keeping the old Windows partitions).
Anaconda more or less let me try but gave me a warning
about /boot being below the RECOMMENDED size (not
that it would not work).
F21 installed without any indicated errors. However I got
an OOPS on first boot.
I was able to boot into the recovery partition and inspect
the /boot. The initrd for normal boot was incomplete and
the /boot was full. I did NOT receive an error on install.
IMHO, this was a silent failure (bug reported).
Yes, there are those of us who have done "interesting things"
with our partitioning over the years. We would like to continue
to be able to manually partition, manually setup RAID,
and do similar things. Its definitely not good for the average
user, but some of us need it. However, we should see
errors when things fail....
