Failed to laod ldlinux.c32 boot filaed

Note: works stick perfectly when cut with "dd"

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2016-04-04 21:29:25 UTC

The version of syslinux used on F23 needs newer modules, which aren't available from sl7.2

Comment 2 Todd 2016-04-05 00:08:07 UTC

I am using modules from Nux's repo.  Which ones are you looking for so I can send you their revisions?

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2016-04-05 15:26:08 UTC

F23 uses syslinux 6 which is considerably different than the one in RHEL7. This is more fallout from trying to use older releases to make USB sticks with newer Fedora releases.

Comment 4 Todd 2016-04-05 18:10:11 UTC

I will have access to a FC23 machine later on in the week. I will recut and get back

Comment 5 Todd 2016-04-08 20:52:20 UTC

Confirmed.  This is does work when cut from FC23.

This means that the issue is that we need a version of livecd-tools that is compatible with RHEL 7.  I put the bug in the wrong place.

Would you mind switching this to the appropriate "product"?

Many thanks,

Comment 6 Brian Lane 2016-04-11 16:36:07 UTC

That's not going to happen, and as I've stated multiple times before livecd-iso-to-disk isn't expected to work across all releases. If you want to make f23 live usb with overlay, etc. use the livecd-iso-to-disk from a F23 system.

The only generic way of writing USB sticks that works consistently from other releases is to dd the iso image to the USB.
