again F25 on USB Flash medium - with legacy ok - only problem with EFI -Anaconda

[Joerg Lechner]

Hi,
by case I tried to install F25 Beta in legacy mode on an 64GB flash medium. And surprise
it works.
This means Anaconda problem when installing F25 on an USB flash medium in EFI mode,
but in Legacy mode ok. I run an Acer laptop with Win 8.1 on the internal disk.
I think this is good news to find a way to solve this EFI - Anaconda problem.
Kind regards

I think this suggests there is some configuration or BIOS problem with
EFI and USB in your machine.  Both Chris Murphy and I performed
successful EFI installations, he with Apple and I with Samsung hardware.

It may be impossible to accurately gauge the prevalence of this problem
with the limited hardware coverage available for pre-release tests.  On
the positive side, you have discovered a way to avoid the issue that may
help other users who experience similar difficulty.

 Hi Richard,
it's disappointing, when this problem will be solved after the final release of F25.
In this case I will skip F25 and take part again in F26/F27 as soon as this problem will
be solved. My Acer laptop is 2 years old, Bios updated (V1.32 published in 2016/04/07). 
Kind regards
