Hi,
So I’ve tried to install F36 on my Windows/Linux multiboot system and simply cant. I created new partition (/dev/sda20) prior Live CD boot, booted Fedora, selected custom partitioning and installer sees this newly created partition under “Unknown” category. I can select it, set / mount point, format it, great. But now here goes not so nice part of installation. My efi partition is on /dev/sda1 and I simply can’t see an option to select it anywhere. Why is that, what am I missing? I installed at least 10 other distros on this PC in multiboot mode and only fedora installer is showing such miracles. All of my installed distros use /dev/sda6 as a swap partition, but again - in Fedora installer I can’t see/select this partition. Guys, please help me to install Fedora.
This is going from memory but last I checked Fedora was fairly picky about the efi partition. It needs the partition type to be set to be an efi partition.(ef00
)
However, many distros use and create normal fat32 partitions for the efi.
Check and ensure that your efi partition has the correct type.
My /dev/sda1 partition is EFI partition, it has et00 type and all other linux distributions ( at least 8) where able to use this partition without any single problem. Also installer does not see swap partition as available when it perfectly exists:/
