I’m trying to install Fedora on a new machine, and in order to get the LiveUSB to even boot past the GRUB screen, I had to go into the boot options and add acpi=off
.
I’ve gone through the various options here: DebuggingACPI - Ubuntu Wiki but none of them save acpi=off
actually let the system boot, and otherwise I just get a black box superimposed over the motherboard POST screen. Even with quiet
removed, there’s no messages, no log lines, nothing.
After some googling, I learned that efibootmgr
requires acpi
to be running (see here), as I kept on hitting a Failed to set new efi boot target. This is most likely a kernel or firmware bug.
error in Anaconda during the installation. Here’s the exact error returned by the failed command, with debug output:
efibootmgr -c -w -L Fedora -d /dev/nvme1n1 -p 1 -l \EFI\fedora\shimx64.efi -v3
Could not prepare Boot variable: No such file or directory
error trace:

efibootmgr.c:287 make_var(): make_linux_load_option() failed: No such file or directory

So, I appear to be blocked. Can’t boot with ACPI, can’t actually install without it. Is this a bug? Is there a workaround of some kind? Am I doing something really dumb?
System info, as it might be relevant here:
Motherboard: GIGABYTE Z590 Vision D (yes, it has the latest firmware)
CPU: i7-11700K
GPU: Radeon RX5700 XT
Setup: Windows installed with Secure Boot on one NVMe drive, attempting to install Fedora on a second NVMe drive.
Kernel on the LiveUSB: 5.14.10-300.fc35.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Oct 7 20:48:44 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Yes, the LiveUSB was created with the Fedora Media Creator thing.
