Did anaconda do it? What install media? I have Fedora 31 clean installed in a VM using UEFI and haven't run into this, so I suspect some kind of confusion. Maybe don't use -t vfat flag and just let it auto detect? > Isn't that a window's charset? It's crazy that I need that to access a > partition.

It either can read this FAT format EFI System partition to read EFI GRUB, or found your old BIOS GRUB. You can maybe determine which one from GRUB environment variables with the 'set' command. But yeah this is deep in the weeds. > I'm taking a break from this as I seem to be spinning my wheels. That is often the case with Rawhide. But you're also dealing with multiple things all the same time. So it's sortof chaos theory at play that as you work through one problem you run into another one. It's a fine line between sticking with it and literally walking away. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ 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
