Description redhatbugzilla 2013-12-18 01:06:22 UTC
Description of problem:

Trying to install Fedora 20 from a USB pen created with "Fedora LiveUSB Creator" using the Fedora NetInst ISO fails on an EFI system. The paths for the kernel and initrd are wrong.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 20, Net Install ISO image
liveusb-creator-3.12.0-1.fc19.noarch



How reproducible:
Always



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use LiveUSB Creator to install ISO onto newly formatted USB pen drive
2. Configure target system for EFI booting only
3. Boot target system from USB pen drive
4. Select any option on the boot menu



Actual results:
error: file '/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz' not found
error: you need to load the kernel first



Expected results:
System would boot into the Fedora installer



Additional info:
Tested on a Lenovo laptop, configured for EFI boot only, SecureBoot disabled. Same procedure works flawlessly using a Fedora 19 Net Install ISO.

Comment 1 Karl Robillard 2014-03-29 01:47:08 UTC
I ran into this bug as well.  The work-around was to manually change the paths in the EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg from /images/pxeboot to /syslinux.  I found that from an older report on this issue at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851220#c0.

Comment 2 Luke Macken 2014-04-01 22:36:07 UTC
The liveusb-creator currently only supports Live images. The netinst or DVD might not work properly.

The tool should either reject unsupported ISO's or add support for them.

Comment 3 Brian Lane 2014-04-01 23:27:13 UTC
Note that livecd-iso-to-disk supports boot.iso and dvd, you can use it as an example of what needs to be done.

Comment 4 Luke Macken 2014-11-27 08:11:11 UTC
The latest version of the liveusb-creator supports DVD/boot isos with the 'Overwrite device' installation method.
