UEFI
by Lars Bjørndal
Hello
I have a x86_64 iso file containing a livecd image created with
livecd-creator, Fedora 22.
To copy this image to an USB stick, I use the following command:
livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --efi <imgfile.iso> /dev/sdc
I get an error:
/dev/sdc: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0x00000200 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50
41 52 5

/dev/sdc: 8 bytes were erased at offset 0xf0fffe00 (gpt): 45 46 49 20 50

/dev/sdc: 2 bytes were erased at offset 0x000001fe (PMBR): 55 aa
/dev/sdc: calling ioctl to re-read partition table: Suksess
Waiting for devices to settle...
mkfs.fat 3.0.27 (2014-11-12)
[168286.777930] sdc: sdc1
ERROR: This live image does not support EFI booting
What's supposed to be wrong with the immage? I have an image created in
April 2015, Fedora 20 or 21 that works with the same command.
Thanks and regards,
Lars

UEFI and Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso issues
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
I use Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso "a lot"
at customer sites. It definitely has a EFI directory.
iso:Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso/ISO9660/EFI/BOOT
But I have had to go into UEFI BIOS and set the boot
to "legacy" boot. I have also noticed in the UEFI
boot section that there is no boot to anything other
boot option than the hard drive.
Is this normal?
Many thanks,
-T

I need to make an live USB that installs
by ToddAndMargo
Hi All,
Instead if making a Live DVD of
Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso
I wish to make a Live USB. The goal is to use it
to install Xfce FC23 to new computers.
I know that the Live DVD has an install to hard drive option,
but I do not remember if Live USB has the same option.
Is this the proper way to destructive install this thing
to a USB flash drive (/dev/sdc)?
dd bs=4096 if=Fedora-Live-Xfce-x86_64-23-10.iso of=/dev/sdc
Many thanks,
-T
