Description of problem: I've created a LiveUSB using livecd-iso-to-disk with the --efi flag, but it won't boot on my UEFI laptop. After a bit of trying, I was able to boot if I removed the "findiso" command from the ISOLINUX configuration. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 Beta RC4 Live image, x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the Fedora 17 Beta RC4 Live x86_64 image 2. Run "livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --unencrypted-home --noverify --efi /home/user/ISO/Fedora-17-Beta-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso /dev/sdg1", replacing the path and device with your actual path and device. 3. Boot on a UEFI machine. Actual results: You'll get an error message from ISOLINUX that something along the lines of Error 15, file not found Expected results: Boot from the LiveUSB stick. Additional info: Press enter to see the menu, press 'e' on the first line to edit the entry, press 'd' on the line that says 'findiso' to delete that line, and then press 'b' to boot, and it boots! Tests performed on an Thinkpad X220 with UEFI set in the BIOS to *only* boot UEFI. I'm proposing as a NTH for F17 beta, even though I'm not sure that working LiveUSB media is an actual criterion. Feel free to kick me to the curb if it's not considered important enough.
What version of livecd-tools were you using? > =17.6 and >= 16.11 remove findiso from the config file. If you were using the latest stable from F16 could you try 16.11 from testing and leave feedback on it here - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3066/livecd-tools-16.11-1.fc16
I just made a bootable live USB with the Fedora 17 beta RC4 x86_64 live desktop media and livecd-tools 16.11. My uEFI system booted it (as EFI) without issue. Added karma since I didn't realize that I was using livecd-tools that was still in updates-testing.
ah, I also couldn't reproduce, and comment #1 might be why. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
I made the initial test with livecd-tools 16.10. Testing now with 16.11. I will report back here (and give karma!) if that fixes things.
16.11 definitely solved the problem. I've added karma to the package in updates-testing.
Beta is out, moving to F17 Final NTH
