Some machines do have trouble booting LiveUSB at all... and a few I've seen that typically boot just fine, decide to stop booting once the USB device gets bigger than a certain size.  For example, I've seen a few machines that work fine with 2GB USB drives but fail with 4GB.  Anyway, try your LiveUSB on a variety of machines and see what happens.  What size USB thumbdrive are you using?

Thanks, that is good feedback, maybe my usb is having issues. I'll try
with few other. I had no issues booting F13 image from 2,4 and 8gb usb
sticks that I have. I tried only with 2gb for now but I'll try others
now that I know that your F14 image is working ok.
