Kyle Gospo•11/21/23, 2:26 AM

we don't touch the bootloader at any point, grub is part of the image and the install process for it is 100% stock Fedora. Please provide some screenshots of the issue you're running into and try installing stock Silverblue/Kinoite and then rebasing

Thom

Thom•11/21/23, 2:27 AM

It says
"The following error occurred while installing the boot loader. The system will not be bootable. Would you like to ignore this and continue with installation?

failed to write boot loader configuration"

Kyle Gospo

that error would be from the installer

Thom•11/21/23, 2:29 AM

correct

alright, try the stock installer for silverblue/kinoite
