MacBook Persistent SoaS v5 and SoaS v6 EFI Boot USB

Boots directly from the USB device NEW

• Latest F16-RC4 and RC5 have the updated kernel and boot an EFI USB device directly on a MacBookPro i7 (11/03/2011)

I just successfully made a f16 RC4 EFI Boot USB in VirtualBox on My Macbook Pro i7......nice ; used x86-64 live Desktop and liveinst then installed additions (for USB Access)

Chat works just had chat with mulawa1 on USB on Mac

• Note: EFI USB does NOT boot on MacBook Air. trying to figure out why
• need update the video parameters for various Macs- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528232#c20 - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528232#c85

Is that an original MacBook Air? According to this page it does not boot EFI in 64 bits: Bert:

List of Macs that boot in EFI: http://www.everymac.com/mac-answers/snow-leopard-mac-os-x-faq/mac-os-x-snow-leopard-64-bit-macs-64-bit-efi-boot-in-64-bit-mode.html

f16 Common Bugs:https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F16_bugs#Incorrect_partition_type_assigned_to_.2Fboot_partition_on_GPT-labelled_disks

Boot Flag: http://blog.christophersmart.com/2009/12/02/fedora-mac-and-efi/ older info to look at

Possible Fix: tested with grub2-efi, and then I can boot Air with xdriver=vesa nomodeset

• Fix for EFI in v6? :::http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2011-October/104146.html

Kernel upgrade to fix this: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel/3.1.0/7.fc16/x86_64/kernel-3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64.rpm is in RC4

To Boot Hold "Option" Key when starting Mac. Hold key until EFI USB Icon Appears then select it right arrow ===> (EFI)

KEY: (x)= device name

Use the sudo blkid command in a terminal to see the USB and other device names for discs attached to the system.

ie: /dev/sdb; /dev/sdc; /dev/sdd.... IMPORTANT very dangerous if you use the wrong one

Build EFI USB Boot Stick

• From booted f16-x86 64 hard disk install

Run "yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required
dependencies and  then use livecd-iso-to-disk

Boot tests of dd img USB's in a MacBook i7

READ THIS FIRST^

Synopsis: Only EFI .img Boots Mac.

How to Write your own .img file

Run "yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required
dependencies and  then use livecd-iso-to-disk

• use Disk Utility in f16 to format the USB as Master boot Record and /dev/sd(x)1 as FAT first.
• Command Line to use in root terminal:

sudo livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --format --overlay-size-mb 300 --home-size-mb 175 --delete-home --unencrypted-home Fedora-16-release-i686-Live-SoaS.iso /dev/sd(x)

make .img file from inserted USB

Do this before you boot the USB.

( This will avoid network collisions when running multiple copies on the network.)

the unique ssh keys are generated on first boot of a SoaS USB

Allows building of EFI Boot USB devices (self contained)

• F16-Desktop x86-64 Virtual Machine

requires a x86_64 computer

IMPORTANT: There is NO WIRELESS (wired works) or AUDIO available when booted from this EFI Boot USB

1. Contains RC4 F15 and F16 x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso files in the Download directory
2. Script in Desktop to run in terminal

• How to use the VM to create an EFI boot USB

Start Virtual Appliance
start Terminal (Applications/system tools/terminal)
In terminal: cd Downloads
Insert a 2 GB or larger USB
type "mount" to get USB device name ie: /dev/sdb; /dev/sdc/; etc Be certain of this to get this wrong is dangerous.  
minimize
start Applications/Accessories/gedit
In Gedit Open /Desktop/livecd-iso-to-disk.txt
edit command line to show correct USB device name.
copy corrected command line
Paste into terminal

• Boots Fine

Install to HD (liveinst)

F16 disk utility

format HD
format partion ext4

• Discovered that using gparted to format the HD partition on Ubuntu causes liveinst failure as it cannot see the 1 MiB first partition.

NOR can the installer

liveinst

Boot Live SoaS CD
terminal:
liveinst
custom
ext4 / [format] (not allowed to use existing ext4 fs)
