Description Adam Williamson 2012-02-22 20:37:01 UTC

To reproduce:

* Get F17 Alpha RC4 x86-64 DVD
* Write it to USB: livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi Fedora-17-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso /dev/sdd1
* Try to boot from the USB stick via EFI

For me this fails - error message is "Error 15: File not found" after grub boot screen pops up correctly.

I don't think this is really enough to count as a blocker, as various other USB boot methods and EFI boot methods work, only this specific combo fails.

The findiso grub command appears to be causing problems when booting from USB created with livecd-iso-to-disk.
