Thank you! I reported the bug via the abrt tool and it did not help me

No I did not. I do apologize I wasn't aware for EFI systems this was
required. After I created the partition, the installation was smooth.

Trust me, I didn't have to mess with any of the stuff above. My
installation worked out of the box except for the /boot/efi partition.
