I just went through all the steps to blow away the old partitions and
install F38.
It tried for maybe an hour with the spindizzy on "Installing boot
loader".
If finally came back with a dialog box with an error of:
The following error occurred while installing the boot loader. The
system will not be bootable. Would you like to ignore this and
continue
with the installation?
Failed to set new efi boot target. This is most likely a kernel or
firmware bug.
No|Yes
What should I do at this point. It IS an old system that has had a
number of ver of Fedora on it. It was booting F22 just fine, it
seemed
but now it is all gone...
Did the old system use EFI or BIOS?
Have you tried booting a live USB stick of F38 on the hardware?
It was EFI.
Perhaps this is the system where I had EFI problems and had to hack at
the EFI. hmm...
But if so, the other 120e with F24 did not need hacking.
