Hi,
The steps that I followed were:
1. Use guided installation using full disk with graphical installer
2. I selected use entire disk and not a separate /home
3. It gave me the warning that its going to format the disk.
At that point it formatted and I rebooted into the new system. There
were two partitions there.
One /boot/efi and one root (/). Every time I tried to reconfigure it
always ended with /boot not having enough space. At that point I went
into the /boot partition to check what are the files. I curiously found
that the files from the previous installation of Gentoo were there. Even
though the installer said that it formatted the disk.
I was using the default that the guided installation uses. I didn't
change anything there.
At that point as I said I formatted the disk separately to make sure it
was properly formatted this time but the same thing happened.
The only way I could work around the bug was by selecting the manual
partitioning instead of guided in the graphical installer.
Regards,
Marinus Savoritias
