I'm trying to boot the latest Fedora Live iso on a brand new Dell and I'm getting:
Selected boot device failed
What is the trick to getting this to boot?
I just dd'd the iso on the USB drive. Do I need to make it bootable or some such?
I updated the BIOS to the latest. I verfied everything works as it should under Windows. I tried playing with the BIOS settings but stuff is mostly disabled already. I tried booting in both Legacy and UEFI modes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm nursing a 5 year old Toshiba with CentOS 6 and it's time to upgrade. I've been using Linux as my primary machine since late 90's but it has been so long since I last installed on a newish laptop I have no idea what the issues are anymore.
Help!

Nevermind. I was able to boot from USB. There was something wrong with the USB drive. I was using a 128GB USB 3.0 drive. I tried a lowly 8GB drive and it worked.
No doubt I'll be back with other questions though ...
Thanks for listening.
