Hi. I haven't been here for a long time, which I guess is a testament
to how well Fedora works these days.
I have a new laptop, set up with Windows, that I'm trying to install
F38 on. I used the media writer to make a USB boot/install drive. It
booted fine, and I clicked to install to hard drive.
I took about half of the 1TB SSD for Fedora, and told it to continue.
Then I left for a few minutes. When I came back, the computer had
booted to the USB drive again (it appeared). I removed the USB drive
and rebooted again.
The system booted to Windows with no indication of a grub boot menu.
The drive was missing the space I'd reclaimed, so clearly that worked,
at least partly. But nothing I do seems to get it to boot linux or
drop me at a grub menu.
When I boot off the usb drive, it works, but I don't see any
linux-related files on the SSD. So basically it looks like the drive
got partitioned, at least partly, and the install didn't run. So I'm
trying to run the install again, but no combination of clicks is
getting me what I want.
1) For "Installation Destination," I see "Error checking storage
configuration." I click on that, and it has the one device for me to
install to. At the bottom, it says "Error checking storage
configuration." When I "click for details," I get
---
The following erros were encountered when checking your storage
configuration. You can modify your storage layout or quit the installer.
Failed to find a suitable stage 1 device: EFI System Partition must be
mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type
None.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type ntfs.; EFI System
Partition must be mounted on one of /boot/efi.; EFI System Partition
cannot be of type ext4.; EFI System Partition must e mounted on one of
/boot/efi.; EFI System Partition cannot be of type btrfs,; EFI System
Partition must e mounted on one of /boot/efi.

If I then go into "BLIVET GUI PARTITIONING" I do see a Btrfs volume,
labeled "fedora_locahost-live," of 460GB. It has "home" and "root"
subvolumes. It has no mountpoints for / and /home, but I can add them.
Still, I guess it wants me to tell it where to put /boot? What do I do?
For reference, when I look at the drive in BLIVET I see
device type format size label mountpoint
nvme0n1p1 partition efi 100MiB
nvme0n1p2 partition 16MiB
nvme0n1p3 partition ntfs 491.34GiB
nvme0n1p5 partition ext4 1024MiB fedora_localhost-live
nvme0n1p4 partition ntfs 662MiB
So the overall picture I'm getting is that the first install didn't
finish partitioning the drive (since I don't see anywhere for /boot)
and didn't do any of the install. But a) I'm not really confident in
that assessment b) I don't know what to do next, in any case. Is it
nvwe0n1p2 where /boot was meant to go?
Thanks,
Matt
It seems you burned the Fedora Live image in your NVMe 0 Namespace 1
Partition 5 as seen in
nvme0n1p5 partition ext4 1024MiB fedora_localhost-live
You must burn it to an external USB drive (ej /dev/sdx) and boot for it.
If you reserved half disk (eg 500Gb) but later burn the image in I think
is normal whats is seen in this partition list.
Hope helps
