Description of problem: Cannot boot installer from diskboot.img Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Current rawhide How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sda1 (writes diskboot.img to USB drive) 2. Configure PC to boot from USB 3. Boot PC Actual results: Gives: "This disk is not bootable disk ..." message Expected results: PC boots to installer. Additional info: Mounting diskboot.img on the loopback device shows an empty filesystem. diskboot.img from test4 release works fine, and shows files when loopback mounted.
Things look fine when composed as an RC candidate with pungi; so something is probably going wrong in the environment that rawhide is being built in. Bill -- does the rawhide compose environment have loop devs? Or where's a log and I'll pore over it to see if I see why things are failing.

Definitely looks like the loopback mount isn't happening. Bits are landing in tree/images/fobpath -- that's where the image gets mounted in scripts/mk-images.x86. Log still doesn't have error messages, but I think that's due to stderr being lost more than anything
Should be 'fixed' in the next build.
