In additional info, include computer model and firmware revision. And then
attach your program.log, anaconda-tb, and syslog.
How can I find out my firmware revision without rebooting into bios setup?  
Seems there is a command somewhere that shows this…
No, this is something that I'd expect only the firmware will show you somewhere 
in its setup menu.

Also include as attachments the current results of:
efibootmgr -v > efibootmgr.txt
ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ > efivars.txt
I am currently running f20 i386  on this system (my Lenovo x120e). My f17 
x86_64 drive got hosed and won't boot.  So how am I suppose to get these 
outputs?
Boot any x86_64 Fedora media in EFI mode (not CSM-BIOS mode - this is a setting in your 
firmware, sometimes irritatingly called "disable UEFI" when the CSM is being 
used). If it's not a livecd, like netinst or dvd, you can ctrl-alt-f2 to get to a shell, 
and issue those commands. And hardwire ethernet typically works from all media out of the 
box without configuration so you can either fpaste them (save the URLs!) or you can scp 
them to another computer or stick them on a USB stick.

I am downloading the f20 x86_64 live iso right now; and it looks like a liveDVD, not liveCD by its size. I will run all of this tomorrow (My new years Holiday was some 3 months ago :) ).


I wouldn't try to reproduce until you get more information from kernel
maintainers on how to get the information they need.
Hope we can get this straightened out in the next week +.  I would like to have 
my new SSD drive working in time for the IEEE 802 meeting Jan 19th.  I am 
looking forward to more battery time.
I have no idea how to help because I don't know why the kernel and firmware 
aren't getting along well enough to write the necessary boot information to 
NVRAM. After you collect all of this information and post it, I'd check the 
manufacturer web site and see if they have newer firmware that what you 
currently have, and give that a shot.

At this point I'm mainly trying to poke kernel devs into getting us more 
information when there are these kinds of NVRAM modification failures. Right 
now we really don't get much info it seems.
