Thank you for testing

The first install attempt failed with an unhandled exception related to an empty card reader mapped to /dev/sdd. I put a Binkie into the reader and tried again.

Were any bugs filed from this attempt?

On the second attempt, the installer apparently could not access extended partitions.

For the third attempt, I specified a primary partition for Rawhide and the install was able to install files to the partition (sda3).

I was very careful to specify boot loader installation to the Rawhide partition sda3. Nonetheless the installer managed to bollix the MBR. Nothing booted. I installed

I observed this in private testing but haven't chased it down yet, glad to hear someone confirm this. Have you already filed a bug for this issue?

ArtistX in order to get a working MBR. ArtistX was able to boot to Rawhide.

The Rawhide boot was very slow and eventually locked up the computer.

Possibly the previously discussed microcode_ctrl issue - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=560031 ?
