Installation failed on the existing MX23.6 partition.
I don't have the installation logs.
The installer wasn't able to configure the efi-boot.
My PC:
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i3-6100 CPU @ 3.70GHz
Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.3 GiB usable)
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 530
Manufacturer: FUJITSU
Product Name: ESPRIMO P757
I'll wait for the final release.
Do share your QSI from the computer you want to install on. IF it is this one, then this one.
Better to help troubleshoot.
Here is the QSI from the MX23.6 partition.

Edit: I prepared a new partition on my PC, formatted with ext4
The installation of MX25-beta-xfce was successfull.
I have no idea, why the replacing of the existing MX23.6-xfce partition failed.
The problem is solved.
I don't intend to try the replacement of the existing partition. Will use that partition after the final release of MX25 for some other Distro.
