Sorry, it's only screen cache (rom free space) after partition creating.
I'm doing it via iDRAC.
mkfs.vfat -c -s1 /dev/sda1 is end of line - other tekst after is rubbish.

I'm not familiar with IDRAC, the problem may have something to do with it based on post #20.
Otherwise I don't know what could be causing the problem.

That's the point.
With ver 14.2 there is no problem.
Ver 15 is problem, maybe glibc.
Is there any solution to avoid it during installation process?

The messages in the screenshot of post20 are the same ones I get when I run mkfs.vfat from a iso in virtualbox, however I don't get the invalid "ERROR: No EFI System Partition mounted on /boot/efi." message that you did. Maybe mounting the efi partition before chrooting will make a difference.
Code:
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot/efi
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
mount --bind /run /mnt/run
chroot /mnt
eliloconfig
exit

No, it doesn't change anything.
mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 is problem.
Already tried.
If first step is problem next steps are unpredictable - installation process failure.
In my opinion 15 is failure to clean install.
Conclusion is clear installation process has big issue, maybe bad tests before official release(like M$).
I've tried to install current some time ago, there was no error.
