I think it was failing to install because the installer was confused by the labels on the existing linux partitions not being linux, rather than the mbr. There are entries in the /boot/loader/entries directory, so it is BLS. It failed to boot, though, and I am still investigating that.

Something for me to look into. Do you know how to examine the /boot/efi partition? Mount keeps telling me that I am trying to mount it incorrectly, mount -t vfat /dev/sda8 /mnt/to_efi dr-xr-xr-x. 2 0 0 system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 4096 May 30 09:33 /mnt/to_efi Is there a special type for /boot/efi even though it is vfat? _______________________________________________ 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
