boot error

Description of problem:
When I try to create a USB stick using the old liveusb-creator and use Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-24-20160422.n.0.iso to be written, the stick does boot using BIOS, but does not boot using UEFI. The error message says:

> error: file '/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz' not found.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
liveusb-creator-3.14.2-2.fc23.noarch
liveusb-creator-3.14.2-1.fc22.noarch
(happens on both)
Workstation-Live-x86_64-24-20160422.n.0.iso

How reproducible:
always
Comment 1 Kamil Páral 2016-04-26 12:08:28 UTC 
Proposing as a Beta blocker due to:
"Release-blocking live and dedicated installer images must boot when written to optical media of an appropriate size (if applicable) and when written to a USB stick with any of the officially supported methods."
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_24_Beta_Release_Criteria#Release-blocking_images_must_boot

Of course a solution here is to push the new LUC into F22 and F23 before Beta release:

This is probably a duplicate of bug 1318494, but I keep it open because I already proposed it as a blocker. We can sort that out once things are pushed stable, which should be any day now.

Boots bios and EFI in NUC i5 intel:
Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-24-20160424.n.0.iso
8 GB Toshiba USB

3.93.2-1.fc23.noarch.rpm -boots not tested for install [1]

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2016-04-27 08:22:48 UTC 
liveusb-creator-3.93.3-1.fc22 and liveusb-creator-3.93.3-1.fc23 has been now pushed stable, which solves this bug. But this needs to stay open until the mirror manager stops offering older metadata, according to:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Tracking_AcceptedPreviousRelease_blocker_bugs
(of source only on basis that this gets accepted as a previous release blocker).

INFO    ✔ PASSED All metadata referenced in metalink is sufficiently newer than the time when liveusb-creator-3.93.3-1.fc23 was tagged into f23-updates. All users should be able to receive the update now.
