Description of problem: * I create a usb-boot using liveusb-creator * I boot the Mac using "EFI boot" * I selected "Fedora-live-Desktop ... " * The boot happens, but very slowly and then finally fails. What happens is that the usb never gets mounted and the error is: dracut-initqueue: /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-Live-Desktop... does not exists This is true and I cannot find a way to mount the usb to get the errorlog out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I have tested with both 18 and 19 with same result. How reproducible: Happens every time as above. Additional info: Please let me know how I provide further information. Thanks.
liveusb-creator doesn't know how to set up the Mac bootable images. You can work around this by simply using dd to write the image directly onto a USB stick, however this will still fail in F19 due to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F19_bugs#Apple_EFI_Macs:_EFI_install_alongside_existing_EFI_installed_OS_.28including_OS_X.29_results_in_you_have_not_created_a_bootloader_stage1_target_device_error
Thanks, I followed the F18->F19 route and after a few tweaks it did work.
I just released a new version of the liveusb-creator which supports dd-based installation, which should resolve this issue.
