Dear Fedora Experts,
I' ve recently bought a new Dell Precision m6800 and today I was trying
to install Fedora 23 in dual boot with windows 7 (this was the OS
originally on the machine).
I' ve run the installer from the live CD and after a couple of wrong
attempts I successfully finished the installation process without errors
or at least apparently without errors.
I' ve restarted the machine I got into the following error message:
*file "/boot/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod" NOT FOUND
grub rescue>*
neither windows nor fedora boot.
Booting again from the live cd I got that ever the partition are there:

where sda1-3 are the original windows partitions, sda5 is /boot and sda6
is /
I' ve mounted the /boot partition and inside grub2 there is not i386-pc
dir nor the normal.mod file. I' ve tried to manually copy
/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod into /boot/grub2 but the only
difference I got is that the boot is stucked on

Hi
Why an extended partitition? It should a gpt partitioning with efi. Your
'Dell Precision m6800' uses uefi but you have not any efi partition
http://www.manualslib.com/manual/563583/Dell-Precision-M6800.html?page=58
For me, your install is wrong. First, You have to disable uefi secure
boot in your bios, then install F23. Installer has to detect an efi
partition like '/boot/efi'
