parted can't fix it. gdisk then says the GPT is damaged and will not fix/restore the 1st partition which contains the bulk of the boot data. gpt bails entirely. AFAIK this ISO isn't valid, insofar as the GPT is invalid, but I'm not sure if that relates to the booting problems both computers are having. I'm going to try making an EFI bootable USB stick using the latest livecd-tools and the F17-alpha-LiveCD and see where that takes me.
