SWAG:

above is saying that you should have a file named "bootmgfw.efi" in path;

   /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/

did you by chances in creating files and paths create a file with;

   /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

when it should have been;

   /boot/etc/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi

thereby causing such an error?


also, did you run a web search of;

   forums.fedoraforum.org

for your problem?

i ran such a search and within 3 of 'finds';

are possible answers to your problem.

among responses, there is also mentioning that 'fat' partitions must be
type 'fat32', not 'fat16'.

did you create the 'ESP' as 'fat16' instead of 'fat32'?
