I'm not entirely sure that's correct. We had several reports of
successful EFI installs of F16 in the relevant bug reports at RC stage.
What are you basing this apparently authoritative declaration on?

As far as I know, you can only install if you use the nopgt kernel
parameter or change the partitions after the install. I could of
course be wrong, but nothing I found contradicted these facts.
On my own iMac, when I tried to do preupgrade from the working F15 to
F16 the system would not boot into F16. I the tried to install the
live CD and I could not get that to boot either. I tried both using
reFit and using the whole disk.
Has anyone managed to install F16 on a Mac without using any extra
options such as nopgt or changing partion flags after install?
