Description

I don't really trust the output of sfdisk, CHS really isn't an issue with modern drives (especially flash). Aligning on sector size is the important part. The warning from parted is just a warning, it prefers to align things at 1MiB. livecd-iso-to-disk aligns the start at 34 512b sectors (17408 bytes). It might be worthwhile to change this to align based on sectors instead of bytes so that 4k sector devices won't have problems in the future. parted now prefers 1MiB alignment so we may as well use that, not sectors. commit 09f64c7066746023d69e78c2673ded67ec30919f livecd-tools-15.4-1.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-15.4-1.fc15 livecd-tools-15.4-1.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update livecd-tools'. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-15.4-1.fc15 Now the message from livecd-iso-to-disk is gone. Now I will just need to figure out why the stick will not start, but that is another bug. livecd-tools-15.5-1.fc15 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 15. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-15.5-1.fc15 livecd-tools-14.2-1.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-14.2-1.fc14 livecd-tools-14.2-1.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 stable repository.
