You might need to look into the computers EFI setup options. I had a machine that recently had the on board battery go dead, and on restart it would not boot from the hard disk?? The setup had somehow gone to a default setting, in which it was set for the primary boot to be windows EFI?? Machine had never had windows installed and wasn't setup for EFI boot with linux. Just changed the setting, and actually went ahead and disabled the windows EFI option completely. So, might be a setting that has it looking for windows EFI only by default. Took me a while to find option.. Good Luck.

Because of low memory, low disk space and performance reasons I would want to install Fedora 35 workstation on to a new HP desktop. The computer had pre-installed Windows 11 (UEFI BIOS). I tried to install Fedora35 using a USB drive. In order to see the boot menu I had to provide acpi=off at command line. Installation to a partition went until that stopped with the error message "Failed to set new efi boot target". Tried to install without a Windows partition on a clean disk but got the same error. I managed to install Debian11 with a VGA screen. My system is Intel core i7 11 gen i7-11700@215GHz, 16G RAM with integrated Intel UHD Graphics 750. > > May I have some instructions to follow. > _______________________________________________ > 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 > Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
