Bios ver is "current", ver 1.17 dated 11/7/2012!
Did we have EFI back then?
Oh, F37 live CD booted fine.

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...
You can check if the system provides EFI variables using fwupdmgr. It
will look something like:
$ sudo fwupdmgr get-devices 2>&1 | grep -i -E 'UEFI|BIOS'
│ Summary: UEFI ESRT device
└─UEFI dbx:
Summary: UEFI revocation database
Vendor: UEFI:Linux Foundation

There may be other ways to determine if EFI is available.
