Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2019-03-09 16:49:27 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 30-beta by Fedora user sharkcz using the blocker tracking app because:

 The bootloader is broken and system doesn't boot after installation.

Comment 4 Geoffrey Marr 2019-03-11 20:32:35 UTC
Discussed during the 2019-03-11 blocker review meeting: [1]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedFreezeException" was made as this prevents all installs from booting on a non-blocking arch (s390), obviously a clear freeze exception.
