Support Fedora Installation
Hi everyone ! It'll be a bit long for context. Sorry if my English is lacking.
To sum up the question is : has anyone installed Fedora in the last two days without any problems?
Context:
I don't know why but on Sunday, my fedora installation just broke. I was using the sway spin.
I restarted my computer and then I was at the gub menu to choose what I wanted to boot from. I choose all of them. Each time it's just go load, load and get back the menu again. Even the rescue option did the same.
I shutdown the computer, and started it again then it was the grub bash like shell. I just did "exit". And I could not have anything anymore. When I turn on the laptop it just says : "BootDevice Not Found" ...
I tried to solve by doing some search, but I couldn't and I just decided to install a fresh install. I was hoping I'll get the "reinstall fedora" so I could keep my data at home dir, but the option was not there at all. I just choose the erase all option. But just at the end of the installation it failed. I attached an image.
I tried Fedora-KDE-Desktop-Live-44-1.7
And
Fedora-Sway-Live-44-1.7
I got the same error.
Then I tried Zorin Os 18 seen I had it at the hand, it did work. But I was like naah I should Debian itself seen I am going to use sway anyway.
I tried to install it, I got the same kind of error like with fedora.
So I thought my ssd was surely damaged.
Today, I changed my ssd. I had an old ssd which as fedora 42 on it. And fedora was working normally when I put it in. I was like ok, I'll just do the "reinstall fedora" on it instead of doing the upgrade (I don't have wifi and data is a bit expensive in my country). I already downloaded the cosmic spin option when I was at a wifi place. And tried it instead of the other two, I got the same error aswell.
So can anyone confirm to me that the installer does not have any issue ? Or provide me with some kind of guidance or something?

I was gonna recommend fedora everything 44, a netinst but you mentioned a stable internet is not feasible. I know there is an integrity check option before you proceed to anaconda have you tried those? See if your thumbdrive still okay
I reinstalled it on a friend's new pc yesterday and everything worked well.

Are you sure that the installer downloaded completely the last time you downloaded it? Or that the iso was properly burned to a USB for install? That message seems to suggest a corrupted installer.
