  • F16 liveusb-creator (GUI) works fine to make persistent 2GB USB device from .iso

Bugs

  • SoaS v5 Coconut Beta only connects to jabber if using wired connection on boot

F16 Downlink: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC4/Spins/x86_64/Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-SoaS.iso
  • Latest F16-RC4 has the updated kernel and boots an EFI USB device directly on a MacBookPro i7 (11/01/2011)
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)
Download of Live-desktop for Virtualbox:http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC4/Live/x86_64/Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso
VirtualBox Downloads: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html including additions
My Smolt Mac Profile:http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_3947102b-ca8d-49f6-9a2d-d1ab91b74448
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
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
Possible Fix: tested with grub2-efi, and then I can boot Air with xdriver=vesa nomodeset
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
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516
Look at Further adventures in EFI booting: http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/4957.html
WORKS WITH SoaS v5 Coconut and SoaS v6 Pineapple
Only works with wired cat5 connection (May work with Wireless-not tested)
EFI Boot.JPG <===click on image to enlarge
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
Run "yum install livecd-tools" so it installs all the required
dependencies and  then use livecd-iso-to-disk
