Describe the bug

After clicking Begin Installation it runs for a while and then I get the following error message:

The following error occurred while installing the payload. This is a fatal error and installation will be aborted.

The command 'ostree admin instutil set-kargs resume=UUID-0e17c1f0-b5c0-4ad3-93cc-65a92d62e259 rhgb quiet root=UUID=2b41ffd4-c9b4-481e-93ff-fd99787a75cd rw' exited with the code 1.

What did you expect to happen?

Expected to complete the installation.

Extra information or context

I'm trying to replace a Windows 10 installation (so not dual booting) with secure boot. I turned it off, or rather set it to Other OS as that was the only option. I couldn't even get in to the installation app without doing that.

I'm using two disks for this. Two SSDs both Samsungs but different sizes. One as "primary" with /, /boot/efi/ and swap and the other disk on /home/.

Tried to do the installation twice:
First time the primary disk with btrfs and the home disk with ext4.
Second time the primary disk with ext4 and the home disk with ext4.

Same result both times.

I built this desktop back in 2010-2012, don't remember exactly when. I'm mentioning this because I've earlier installed Bazzite on a laptop from 2018/19 without issues. So my mind went to if my desktop is too old, if that is even possible? My other concern is if there is more configuration I have to change in the BIOS? But I wouldn't even know where to start there.

Would greatly appriciate some help.

Please try again using the Bluefin Installation Runbook

So my mind went to if my desktop is too old, if that is even possible?

I think it shouldn't be the problem, at least for the installation part
Might be wrong

Why did you add a swap partition? If you give the guided partitioner the entire disk for / and the other disk for /home then that's supported. Not sure why you're swapping out to ext4, that's not a good idea.

I found this through @Malix-Labs link:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-silverblue/installation/#manual-partition

And following that I was able to install it. It was probably the swap partition.

Why did you add a swap partition?

I don't actually know what I'm doing. Even though I've used Linux off and on through the years I still am a noob when it comes to these things.

Anyway, Aurora froze after a while and now I can't boot into the OS anymore, and I can't boot into the install app either. I'm getting the same error as when I tried to start the install app the first time and I had forgotten to change Secure Boot to Other OS (don't seem to be able to turn it off? Can't find an explicit option to do that, just changing it between Windows UEFI and Other OS.) Almost feels like it's bricked.

But I don't want to take up anymore of your time, I'll figure something out, so you can close this.
