“Failed to add the device: Unable to allocate requested partition scheme.”
Hey y’all. I’m hoping to get some help with my dual-boot Bazzite installation on Ally X. I’ve been following the RetroGameCorp dual-boot guide, as well as the written guide. I am able to get all the way into the Bazzite installer, but I’m having some trouble with the Installation Destination. Every time I try to set up a separate EFI partition via manual partitioning, I get this error. Does anyone have any ideas what I might be missing? I’ve gone through the whole process seven or eight times now.

make sure bitlocker is and fast startup in windows is properly turned off, for bitlocker this process takes time. also please read the dual boot guide on https://docs.bazzite.gg so you do not footgun yourself, the way RetroGameCorp installs it in the video is not optimal and will let windows happily wipe the bazzite bootloader during windows updates that interact with the EFI partition containing the windows bootloader (which the automatic setup will use and we cannot change that)

Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices.
I just double checked that both were off and I’m still getting the same error when I do the manual partitioning
have you resized the windows partition through windows?
only other thing i can think of, i dont do same disk dual boot because of bs like this
Yup, I've gone through the guide and made sure I didn't miss anything multiple times. Not sure what I'm missing. I do have a very large (8tb) drive, maybe that could be the problem? I have it partitioned to 4tb and 4tb
not sure, we dont make anaconda and it might be an issue with anaconda. i vaguely remember someone else mentioning having issues with an 8tb drive and anaconda

Do you know if there's any way for me to reach out to the folks who work on Anaconda?
that would be redhat and fedora upstream i believe
@Noel you probably know the answer to this better than me as i dont know all the right channels for fedora upstream
but they are reworking anaconda
Anaconda Matrix
would be the best place to reach them.
Yeah, they seem to think I'm encountering this error

The installer is currently not allowing placing boot partitions at offset bigger than 2 TiB.
I tried again with a smaller partition, and it still didn't work. Any ideas for workarounds? I spent too much on this drive not to use it haha.
Have you tried installing from the Silver blue installer and then rebasing?
Yup I just tried that, it has the same issues
Only thing I can think of that might work would be install to a smaller drive and use something like clonezilla to maybe clone the partition over to your larger drive? Then expand the partition to fill the drive?
oh that's a great idea, I'll give that a shot a little later
Yeah, otherwise not really much we can do since we rely on anaconda to do the install.
