Since you only have Fedora to boot, the simplest fix might be to delete all of the NVRAM entries, and hope that in a reboot or two, it does sufficient garbage collection that you can then try another installation.
Confirmed. Sorta.

The program.log info is buried in the anaconta-tb, so looking at that I see you have a bunch of NVRAM entries you probably don't need:

Oh, lots more information.  I will try all of this tomorrow.  I really
need to get busy in the honeydo patch now...  ;)
So, this is basically just a boot menu. If it were me I'd probably drop
entry #9, unless you have any intention to do a UEFI native boot via LAN
later.

Already did that to no avail.  You have to work through the later posts.  :)

With efibootmgr you can list out the actual contents of each entry and
save it somewhere, so you could re-create any entry you delete later.

That is with 'efibootmgr -v' ? did that got the output.

And as long as you make sure you can still get into the firmware
interface, a factory reset of the firmware should restore the default
efi boot manager list, I *think*.

(disclaimer: never trust the monkey, I know a bit more about UEFI than
the average monkey but not everything.)

So why is the install failing?

I will work on installing firmware 1.17 sunday. see if that makes any difference. They do claim that there were no changes. Only adding support for win8.
