As noted on your bug report, your issue looks to be to do with the 
graphics handling on your particular system, nothing to do with the 
wider UEFI issues we're dealing with. Obviously a problem for you, but 
it doesn't have wider implications for the Alpha release, I don't think. 
Thanks for testing!

The error you hit in anaconda in TC6 is something else, but we cannot 
possibly know anything about it from that screenshot: the dialog there 
is the generic 'something went wrong in anaconda' dialog. We would need 
you to hit 'Report Bug' and go through the process to report a bug to 
bugzilla.
