Description Adam Williamson 2013-04-02 23:19:07 UTC
Running:

livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi Fedora-19-Alpha-TC3-x86_64-netinst.iso /dev/sdd

results in:

EFI boot requires a GPT partition table.
This can be done manually or you can run with --format

'fdisk -l /dev/sdd':

WARNING: fdisk GPT support is currently new, and therefore in an experimental phase. Use at your own discretion.

Disk /dev/sdd: 15.6 GB, 15623258112 bytes, 30514176 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: gpt


#         Start          End    Size  Type            Name
 1         2048     30509055   14.6G  EFI System      EFI System Partition

according to bcl, the problem here is that the output of fdisk changed from 'GPT' to 'gpt'. But he also says "why it uses fdisk I dunno. should just use parted, same as the rest of the code."
