Is lorax installed? This looks like mkefiboot (provided by lorax) isn't installed. It should get pulled in automatically.

Comment 2 Ben Williams 2012-04-17 20:30:02 UTC
yes lorax is installed lorax-16.4.7-2.fc16.x86_64

Comment 3 Ben Williams 2012-04-17 20:36:15 UTC
yes lorax is installed lorax-16.4.7-2.fc16.x86_64

Comment 4 Brian Lane 2012-04-17 20:56:32 UTC
ah! 16.4.8-2 isn't stable yet. Could you give it a try and leave feedback here:

Comment 5 Ben Williams 2012-04-18 19:34:25 UTC
It appears the new lorax rpm fixes the issues i was  seeing 
Thank you for the quick reply

Comment 6 Valent Turkovic 2012-05-03 12:25:32 UTC
Me too on this bug ;)

I had same issue, but didn't have lorax installed. Is that a separate bug? Maybe livecd-creator package doesn't have it as a dependency?


# yum install lorax

Comment 7 Valent Turkovic 2012-05-03 12:26:58 UTC
Sorry, my bad, I missed "updating" part. It looks it was installed, just not up to date.

Comment 8 Valent Turkovic 2012-05-03 13:59:53 UTC
I got iso buils and it boots without errors now. Thank you very much!

Comment 9 Valent Turkovic 2012-05-28 07:58:44 UTC
I'm getting ISO images to build now, but they are broken! None of images boot to GUI, only first part starts to show but I couldn't get not one to get to login screen.

Something is very badly broken.

Comment 10 Brian Lane 2012-05-29 20:27:17 UTC
If you have specific problems, please open a new bug with details. This is related to not having lorax installed.
