[fedora-arm] Re: Error during Fedora 30 kickstart on Raspberry Pi 3 B+

That did the trick! Thanks, Paul

The kickstart installation is humming along nicely until the bootloader is being installed. It errors out and I have to manually select "yes" to continue. The system is still installed fine and starts without problems but it's not unattended:

21:33:35,996 DBG bootloader.installation: Configuring the boot loader.

21:33:51,449 ERR bootloader.installation: bootloader.write failed: Failed to set new efi boot target. This is most likely a kernel or firmware bug.

In my kickstart I'm using this to configure the bootloader:

bootloader --location=mbr --timeout=1 --boot-drive=mmcblk0

which is exactly the same that is in the KS file that can be found in the official AARCH64 image.

My uneducated guess is that GRUB has some sort of beef with the lack of a EFI ROM so it can't register a boot entry. Can that be disabled somehow? Haven't found an option for that in the man pages.
I tried --location=none which clears the error but it also doesn't generate the grub.cfg so maybe I need to call grub2-mkconfig in my %post section to compensate for that. Any other ideas?
