That error suggests that the partition holding the installer's kernel
(off the ISO) is on a partition type that the efi boot program (also off
the ISO) can't handle. E.g. extfat.

Is the install ISO on actual DVD or on USB? If on a USB, how did you
write it? I.e., is that USB a true copy of the ISO?
