Hi to all,
I’m encountering some issues in a dual boot installation, Fedora and windows 11.
I installed fedora several times and did the usual steps.
Reduce the windows partition with windows disk utility.
Create a media installation with fedora media writer
Boot from the media disabling secure boot.
Allow automatic disk partitioning from anaconda
The installation seems to end without any error. After rebooting I can’t see Grub2 menu at all and it boots directly in windows.
I tried both F37 and F38 beta with the same result.
I’m trying to install to a Thinkpad p53s i7.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Paolo
I think it is worth checking in the bios what it knows how to boot.
You should see a windows entry and a fedora entry.
Try making the fedora entry the default.
Does that get you to grub?
Hopefully grub menu has a windows entry as well as the fedora ones.
Hi, I re-installed grub from live image, following the very accurate step-by-step fedora docs. It seems to end the installation fine.
Here the content of the efi partition.
But I still can’t get grub starting on boot. Which bios setting have I to look for? In boot option I excluded Windows Boot Manager at all, but It starts anyway.
I got it. I found a specific guide by Lenovo to install Ubuntu on a Thinkpad p43s/p53s.
You have to disable a couple of Windows’ optimizations in UEFI menu before starting the installation. Once done that, everything goes fine.
Here the link to the guide!
