This might be related to what Joe is seeing. I see this message on the
devel list, suggesting there is a bug in the Fedora live USB boot.
Pasting because I'm not sure if forwarding is allowed on Fedora lists.
In the bugzilla, it looks like they have found the problem, and there
is a fix, so it might be working soon.

Hi,

I haven't posted here or been active with Fedora development in years
(sorry!), but I'm running into a blocker and don't know where else to
get help since the bugzilla ticket is silent and assigned to a struck
out address.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2181989

Basically anaconda/dracut's iso-scan/filename= has been broken since
Fedora 37 included, and is still broken in Fedora 39 Beta, meaning the
Live iso can't be booted from a USB stick using grub and its loopback
mount feature (which is super nifty and useful!).

Would anyone with deep enough knowledge of the installer be able to
help? It's very easy to reproduce with any "live usb iso boot" projects
such as my own https://github.com/thias/glim
All of Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Mint, Gentoo, etc. work fine, but Fedora
only works up to 36 and RHEL only up to 8 (RHEL 9 is also similarly
broken).

Cheers,
Matthias
