I already had some problem to install fedora on HP pavilion 500, but

I was able to finish the installation.
I got the message: "installation complete" and so I did the shutdown.
The computer closed regular,
(the system is going down for power out at ...)
but when I try to open it again, I find this message on the screen:
-------------------------
boot device not found
please install an operating system on your hard disk

The site don't explain nothing about a problem connected with linux
and after running diagnostic I get the message :
ERROR: no boot disk has been detected
Curious. This is the 3rd such report in just a couple months,
including myself. In my case it was intermittent though and Dell
support concluded either logic board or SSD flakiness; and also mine
was a dual boot scenario and sometimes happened even with Windows only
installed on the system (and all Fedora NVRAM entries cleared).
The fact that your on-board diagnostic doesn't see a drive suggests a
hardware problem. But I wonder if there's something (efbootmgr +
kernel tickling the firmware's NVRAM?) about Fedora that's instigating
this? Or if it's just coincidence. I guess the sample size isn't big
enough to know.
What happens if you boot from install media, and capture both
dmesg
efiboomgr -v
?
In my case, dmesg clearly showed the lack of proper ACPI
initialization, no drive was found at all.
