Hi.
I can’t install fedora 36-37 or 38.
I have a MacBook Pro 2015. Intel
It’s the same error 36-37-38
another fact is that I cant Install OSX. Can’t download ekstra- is my hard drive dead.
Does the EFI needs to be updated?
And how do I update it.
The live disk seems to work fine, so check your hard drive using SMART tools.
initiate test: sudo smartctl -t long /dev/sda
read result: sudo smartctl -a /dev/sda
(sudo dnf install smartmontools may be necessary - not sure it’s installed on the live system)
Hi.
When booting I choose the second option when it test hardware before installing. Does you guide do it differently?
Does the EFI needs to be updated?
Regards 
During boot you can test the install media and check whether that was written correctly to CD/DVD/USB media.
What I provided is a SMART test of your internal hard drive.
I guess you are affected by Fedora 37 installation fails on Mac devices, see also 2142968 – pyanaconda.modules.common.errors.installation.BootloaderInstallationError: Failed to set new efi boot target. This is most likely a kernel or firmware bug.. However, it says there that F38 is not affected. Did you try F38?
Hi.
Thanks I will try it out.
I have tried 38 and it is the same error.
I will let you know

A mandatory SMART command failed: exiting. To continue, add one or more ‘-T permissive’ options.
The idea is to start the long test, which you did, then wait until it ends before looking at the results. The second command should be done after the suggested time of
