Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-26_Beta-1.3.iso doesn't boot from usb stick

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,

writing the iso to a 64gb sized usb stick with mediawriter and then 
trying to boot, it hangs during "loading initrd.img"

On the other hand, if writing the image to a DVD, f26 will boot.

Anybody sees this too?

Kind regards

Hi
Did the media check after writing and on bootup pass or fail?

1. The mediacheck passed after writing the image to the usb stick.
2. Booting the usb stick first presents, as expected, a menu for 
selection of some F26 variants or memory test.

If selecting the memory test, it will run properly, but not F26.

Hi Joachim,
You tried to install the iso on an 64GB usb stick?
I have just installed the beta 1.3 iso on an 2GB stick, as I do always since F22. The
Desktop installation on an 64GB usb stick (sandisk) was ok, I am just on F26 Beta 1.3.
If it's worthwhile to test an iso on an 64GB stick, I can try this, please let me
know.
Kind regards Joerg

Hi Joerg,

the described boot issue is independent from the media size, the booting 
fails too with a 16GB sized usb stick. There was no special reason for 
me to use a 64GB stick (It  was the only one which was available for me).

If the media check passed, there should be nothing wrong with the flash  
drive, nor with the data written to it. There could be either a problem  
with your laptop's settings (EFI security) or there's something wrong with  
the image itself.

My rather old fashioned desktop PC (no laptop) boots only by BIOS and 
has no EFI feature.

I can't imagine that something is wrong with the image, because it boots 
properly if it's written to DVD!

USB bootup is different from DVD bootup. The Fedora images are in a hybrid  
format that allows both of them. It is however possible the configuration  
is broken for the particular image you tested or that your computer cannot  
handle it. I don't possess enough knowledge about this unfortunately, so  
hopefully somebody who does will chime in.

 Hi Joachim,
I have prepared iso s on USB sticks, both 2GB and 64GB each, the iso s - F26 Beta 1.3 -
prepared with fedora mediawriter on F24 in UEFI mode, the iso s boot correctly in EFI mode
as well as in Legacy mode. But so far I could not prepare a F26 iso running in Legacy
mode, can there be a difference producing the iso boot medium in Legacy compared to EFI?
Kind regards

Hi Joerg,

I wrote the iso with mediawriter-4.1.0-1.fc25.x86_64 in F25 onto the USB 
stick, but if booted, it hangs up during "loading initrd.img".


What do you mean by "I could not prepare a F26 iso running in Legacy mode"?

So, I have no explanation why the boot fails. Perhaps an USB problem?
No problems if I write the iso with K3b to a DVD. This DVD boots 
completely without failure and without hanging up.

Thank you for all your replies.

[Joerg Lechner]

Hi Joachim,
I wanted to prepare a bootable iso, when my laptop runs in legacy mode, to see if there is
a different behaviour of the iso on usb stick prepared on a system in uefi mode versus
prepared on a system running in legacy mode, but currently a have no Fedora running in
legacy mode, therefore I can currently not test this behaviour.
I booted successfully F26 Beta 1.3 from usb stick with the laptop running in legacy mode
(iso prepared with F24 in EFI Mode with mediawriter, x86_64, 4.0.7, fc24), I could install
F26 mediawriter on this iso, but so far I can not read the F26 Beta 1.3 located on an
other partition of the same stick, to make an installation of F26 - today lack of
knowledge - I will solve this (mounting 2nd partition  with the F26 file on it to get
access with mediawriter to this file) possibly tomorrow.
What I have seen in running the F26 beta 1.3 iso in legacy mode, is after giving access to
WIFI and doing one, two, or three other small jobs successfully, the system is blocked and
I have to reboot and start again, in my feeling it's not blocked because of lack on
memory.
Kind regards Joerg

Hi Joerg,

I wrote the iso with mediawriter-4.1.0-1.fc25.x86_64 in F25 onto the USB 
stick, but if booted, it hangs up during "loading initrd.img".

No problems if I write the iso with K3b to a DVD. This DVD boots 
completely without failure and without hanging up.

This is before media check runs.

So your failure is happening at the 2nd step, you're still in the
bootloader. This is almost certainly a USB stick problem. I'd just
write the image again and maybe it'll fix itself as a transient
failure. If not, the try another stick.

 Hi Joachim,
did now the full installation chain in legacy mode (mediawriter - iso - F26 Beta 1.3
build) all worked fine.
If You think it's the usb stick, test with F3. If I get problems with one of my usb
sticks, I make a new partition table on the stick with gparted, if gparted can not delete
a fedora partition, I try a new Fedora install on this stick and interrupt this process,
before the new data are written, by doing this afterwards gparted always
"repaired" an usb stick which had only a SW corruption and no hardware defect.
Kind regards Joerg

Hi Joerg,

now I could boot from the USB stick. I think, the reason was my 
impatience: Loading initrd.img needed about *3 minutes* to finish, and 
after this, my box proceeded to the F26 Live system as expected :-)
