Problem
Installs of Fedora 42 and later to Intel-based Macs no longer use specialized customizations provided by the mactel-boot package. This means:
- The existing FAT32 EFI System partition is now used, instead of a new partition formatted HFS+ and dedicated for Fedora.
- The user now sees an EFI Boot volume in the firmware built-in boot manager, instead of a Fedora volume.
- The user no longer sees a Fedora volume in the macOS Startup Disk panel.
Cause
The mactel-boot package was retired due to lack of maintenance, so these customizations can no longer be applied. The package was then unretired, but it seems its integration into the installer has become broken so things are still not working as intended.
