My laptop crashed to the point it won't boot, so I ended up burning Fedora 35 Workstation on a LiveUSB and re-installing. When the install ended, it told me that it had failed to install the boot loader and the system wasn't bootable. I know that I created a /boot, but I don't know if I needed more than that and Anaconda didn't ask for more. What do I need to do to recover from this?
Did you manually partition the disk or let the installer use the defaults?
Have you ruled out a hardware problem? Prime suspects include memory, CPU cooling, and mass
storage. Some laptop models have a history of specific failures. Googling the specific model may
be helpful.
Were you running Fedora 35 before the system crashed? Does the laptop work properly running
the live USB? Look at the disk layout on the internal drive. I find it useful to have Fedora installed
to a USB device (there are USB3 external cases for SSD's, and there is currently a good supply of
used 128 or 256 GB SSD's pulled from laptops when a larger SSD was installed).
