I'm dual booting on a macbook (using refit), and can't get the F12 netinst CD to install. After choosing to boot the CD from the boot menu, I get the message: "Select CD-ROM Boot Type:" with options 1 and 2, neither of which do anything. I've also tried EFI booting, and get the message: "error: unsupported while loading bootx64.efi" I've managed to get F10 and F11 installed on this system the same way, so I'm not sure what's going wrong here or where to even look. Googling throws up a bunch of stuff about creating Vista disks. Any ideas?
Here's some possibly useful info re. Vista, see 2nd & 4th comments. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1867336
Judging from the link you gave in comment #1 this might very well be related to the introduction of UEFI support in Fedora, assigning this to our EFI expert.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Is this a dupe of bug 527443?
