Hi there,
I’ve just installed Fedora 43 using the new installer’s UI to manually partition my disks (several disks, encrypted partitions, RAID1, etc.).
I’ve (unwisely) chose btrfs for my /boot resulting in Grub having trouble booting with full features, as mentioned in this topic.
At start-up, I don’t have the usual Grub menu but this error instead:
Failed to open \EFI\fedora\ - Not Found
error: ../../grub-core/commands/loadenv.c:216:sparse file not allowed.
The issue is the same as described in this other topic.
I wasn’t aware that /boot should not use btrfs, I’ve learned that searching for the Grub error.
Still, Anaconda allowed me to install F43 with a non-Grub-friendly /boot partition when in manual partitioning without raising error.
I’d hope it would pop an error message like “/boot should use EXT4, btrfs not fully supported”
I also have a /boot/efi of type fat16, because the installer suggested this config, so I guess the same can be done for /boot.
Thanks for taking this suggestion into account for future versions.
