Yeah, I decided that I wanted to install this as UEFI with BLS to see how everything works together.

So, I decided to go for the UEFI install after creating an EFI system partition on the drive.

I even tried getting rid of the mbr record during install, but it just told me that it is required for an mbr system, even when I include the /boot/efi partition as part of the install. And then, it continues to loop forever when trying to install the boot record as mbr. I give up for the time being. It's strange there isn't a switch that I can set to explicitly tell it to install as UEFI. _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
