Something is writing to the media before the media checker. If any of the file systems embedded in the install media mount read-write, the file system is immediately modified. And now the entire stick will fail media checks. This can happen just by plugging the stick in and an automounter thinking it needs to mount the stick. This happens on macOS for the HFS+ volume on the stick and GNOME Shell mounts the large FAT partition. Poof, the media checker now fails. > *) This was reported by me to the list, got discussed and died silently > as a firmware bug. > > The F33 images boots only, when the stick gets inserted, when the device > is in bios.

That does sound like a firmware bug. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
