Is it incapable of EFI or you just aren't using EFI and using bios boot instead? If your system is capable of EFI, the install might default to EFI. When you boot the install media, stop it at the menu, edit the kernel line to remove rhgb and quiet. You should see something like "EFI secure boot enabled" if it is booting in EFI mode. There was an error for systems that had older versions of grub boot record on bios systems. If you still get the error, and you *are* booting via bios boot record, you should boot the rescue system and do a grub2-install </dev/sd?> on the drive where you are installing the new version of the OS. You could also use a netinstall version to give you more control of the install process. A live install is basically just a dd of the install media to the drive. A netinstall will allow you to set the root password, create a user, and custom configure the drive setup. Part of that will be the ability to choose whether to boot EFI or bios. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
