I tested in a KVM virtual machine. Test 1: I went to expert partitioner, with existing partitions. I set the EFI partition to mount at "/boot/efi" I set the root partition to be formatted and mounted at "/" I set the home partition to be mounted at "/home" I set the swap partition to be mounted at "swap" (I had to type in "swap" (without the quotes). That all worked, though I aborted the install before it actually wrote to disk. Test 2: Again, using expert partitioner with existing partitions. I set the EFI partition to be formatted with FAT. And it lost its property of being the EFI System Partition. Although I set it to mount at "/boot/efi", and completed the steps for other partitions, I got that complaint about no "/boot/efi". Test 3: I then hit the "Back" button, and restarted the partitioning section. I was then able to proceed as in Test1. What I did not try, but might work: I did not try deleting the EFI partition, and then adding it back. That might work, because adding a partition gives more options than formatting. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

references the system disks by name eg. /dev/sda1 etc rather than by UUID

This seems to be true for my install. You can change that in the partitioner. For each partition, click on "FSTAB options, and you can choose. However the default seems to be device name. And I agree with you, that UUID would be a better default. However, I think you should report this as a new (different) bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
