As discussed in today's QA meeting I tried loading and installing
Rawhide (F34) Workstation drop 0128.
This was done on my test machine: This was an attempted bare metal
install on a Lenovo M83 desktop with an i5-4570 CPU. The ISO was check
summed and passed Then the ISO was loaded to a thumb drive using Media
Writer. This was also successful.
Then at attempt was made to boot the test system to the thumb drive. The
boot to Live was not successful. The system fell back to booting to the
system hard drive. This indicates that the thumb drive was not bootable.
This entire process was repeated with the same result.
The process was then repeated with the F33 WS Final ISO written to the
same thumb drive with Media Writer. The media check ran normally and
Live booted normally. I started Anaconda and it came up normally ready
to start the install.
I believe the 1028 ISO for F34 WS does not allow Media writer to produce
a bootable thumb drive.
Yeah, I'm actually seeing the same here on my test box with the
20210201.n.0 Workstation live. It boots as an ISO attached to a VM, but
doesn't boot when dd'ed to a USB stick.
Summary of my IRC jabber:
I can boot baremetal Apple EFI and non-Apple UEFI from a dd'd USB
stick with 20210201 Workstation image.
And qemu-kvm both UEFI and BIOS, whether attached using the SATA CDROM
or VirtIO drive. Since I'm unable to reproduce the problem, and I'm
not sure from above reports so far, whether the failure is on UEFI
(Secure Boot or not), or BIOS, and how the failure manifests on-screen
if at all, I'm a bit lost where to keep looking.
I'm not seeing anything unusual about LBA 0 where part 1 of the
isolinux bootloader is located, or the EFI system partition.
I forgot to mention in my last reply that my test PC is set up so it
tries to boot BIOS mode first then tries UEFI. Secure Boot is disabled
in the firmware setup of my test machine.
Have a Great Day!
