Hi, I am installing F36, from the "netinstall disk" on a HP laptop (dual boot, Xfce).
After downloading and installing it gives this: error in POSTTRANS scriptlet in rpm package grub2 common and aborts the installation, twice. At reboot goes to the grub prompt.
Is there something we can do?
There should be a record of what failed. When you get to the grub prompt, try ls /usr/bin to see the commands available to you. I think one of those should be journalctl. I think it is possible to switch to another console using Ctl-Alt-F?, and that one of them has logs that you can examine with less.
I'm not familiar with the dual boot install, but I think I recall that Windows sometimes uses a fast boot option, and that linux can't find that. I wonder if grub2 is not able to put its records into the EFI partition, and so is aborting.
I've used the netinstall CD for fresh install into partitions that I had already created, the custom spoke, and it worked fine. Are you trying to install in legacy bios mode on an EFI system?
Just some things to look at.
