retrying install after reading again through: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installing_on_systems_with_UEFI_firmware I configured /boot/EFI as an NTFS and I see it should be a FAT32.
I did not find FAT32 on list of partition types in the installer's partitioning but I did find "EFI System Partition" so tried that.
OK, so I completed the install from KDE liveDVD with no errors. Unfortunately, it's not booting from disk. Hardware is HP zBook 15.
Assigning to maintainer.

So you'd manually created /boot/EFI as NTFS? Then this is not a bug Also note that you don't have to create a ESP, the installer will either reuse existing one or create one.

There's still a bug: draklive-install crashing.
Status: RESOLVED => REOPENEDResolution: INVALID => (none)
That's not really a bug. There's quite a lot of ways one can shoot her/himself in the foot. You can also set NTFS for /home and you'll have issues with multiuser, ... Or for some system directory where some program will do chmod or chown that'll now fail in new ways... Though I guess we can add a check forcing /boot/EFI to be vfat and nothing else.
Created attachment 6790 [details] stricter check for ESP (untested)
Created attachment 6791 [details] check fs type too (untested)
Keywords: NEEDINFO => PATCH
Checking for the right filesystem type for /boot/EFI and allowing the opportunity to correct during install would help reduce simple user errors like mine.
