*** Bug 1319408 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** As noted in duplicate bug 1319408, UEFI booting works if the boot stanza is edited to remove the '0' character from "vmlinuz0" and "initrd0.img". [Type 'e' to see the actual stanza, then edit it before typing <Ctrl>-x to boot.] So there are at least 5 ways to make UEFI booting work: 0. List this manual workaround in the Common Bugs for the Release. 1. Remove the '0' from the source text of the booting stanza for UEFI boot. 2. Create a link or alias in the FAT filesystem so that accesses to vmlinuz0 become re-directed to vmlinuz. 3. Have two separate files that are duplicates (contain the same bytes in the same order): one with name vmlinuz, the other with vmlinuz0. 4. Change the actual filename in the filesystem from vmlinuz to vmlinuz0, and change the non-UEFI booting stanza to refer to vmlinuz0. As mentioned in bug 1310542, I'm now building a new release of Fedora Media Writer. Please test if that fixes your problem. Searching koji for "FedoraMediaWriter" (or "fedora-media-writer" etc.) yields no packages. I guess the package still is "liveusb-creator" with the builds listed at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=6691 . I will try the Fedora 22 version at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=747138 . The build does not work on Fedora 22; the approach is not backwards compatible with Fedora 22. [root@f22]# rpm --freshen liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: PyQt5 is needed by liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch python-pyquery is needed by liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch qt5-qtquickcontrols is needed by liveusb-creator-3.91.0-1.fc22.noarch Fedora 22 has PyQt4-4.11.4-1.fc22.x86_64, but neither python-pyquery nor qt5-qtquickcontrols. It is unreasonable to expect that anyone with Fedora 22 will install those dependencies. Please make a backwards-compatible version. (In reply to John Reiser from comment #5) I think the F22 issue is worthy of a separate bug, and set to block bug 1310542 for tracking.
