Reinstalling Fedora 43 fails

Selecting “Reinstall Fedora” returns to the same selection instead of moving forward in the existing Fedora installation.

Can you outline the steps please and file a bug?

Bug filed.

Does it take you back to the screen where you have to select other things like user, password and drives?
It’s not clear to me if there is an error or not.
Maybe you can post photos of the workflow.

Have you tried the manual mount point assignment?

Is you case related to 1370530 – RFE: Detect current Fedora installation and present message about how to do upgrades?

It looks like what you are trying to do is not (yet) supported by anaconda, see 2326476 – No Reinstall Fedora option if the system was manually partitioned

No error message as the selection brought back to “Reinstall Fedora”. The partition layout was /efi for ESP, / and /boot in subvolume root and /home in ‘home’ subvolume.

I did by reassigning the partition like
/boot/efi for ESP (formatted)
/boot in ext4 format (formatted)
/ in root subvolume (formatted)
/home in home subvolume (keep)

Then the installer recognized the partition layout and proceeded.

The initial goal was avoiding using a separate “boot” partition but a GRUB2 bug prevents a seamless boot. It seems anaconda-webui does not support systemd-boot yet as I would like to avoid too many unneeded bundle in laptop.
