What do you mean by it didn't accept them?
That's a separate bug report, also needs installer logs attached.
Same question. Where are they saved?
If the installation is nearly complete, they are probably in
/var/log/anaconda on the installed system. Otherwise, they are in /tmp
while the installer is running. You can switch to a console to see them
or copy them off.
Is must be possible to boot a
GPT drive from a BIOS mbr because it appears that I was doing
that.
I can't parse this.
The existing F28 on this GPT disk was booting just fine before I tried
to install F31. Turn the machine on, and F28 running resulted.
Yes, that does work and I see you have the BIOS boot partition.
Or, did the hybrid UEFI/BIOS firmware setting allow both?
Running 'efibootmgr' will tell you what firmware is being presented to
the kernel.
# efibootmgr -v
EFI variables are not supported on this system (from F28, /dev/sda5, on
the GPT drive).
So not an EFI boot.
The first two partitions are boot, then swap, then two root
partitions, then data. The code for the partitions I was trying to
install from the iso to are now 8300, the existing Fedora is 0700.
That's all suspicious because 0700 for a boot volume isn't correct,
and suggests an old version of parted created that partition. Also
partition 3 cannot be a root partition, the type code is for swap.
That confused me at first as well until I realized he meant there are
two /boot partitions like the two root partitions.

I'm typing from /dev/sda5. So, 0700 *is* a linux filesystem on this
disk, not Microsoft basic data.
The kernel will mount a partition regardless of what it's labelled as,
but the installer might not accept it.
