Short update. I know have the g4l booting via UEFI with
my bz5x14.2d kernel and ramdisk.lzma.
Had to basically add 100 lines to the .config file to load
most of the framebuffer drivers and to setup the
fbconsole.. But it now boots with video output, and even
has the default linux penguins logo
More interesting things in testing.
I can boot from the flash, and it loads my kernel and your
g4l.img file with no problem, except of course have a
blank screen...
How do I know it works.
First thing I tried was after waiting a while, pressed enter
a number of times that will eventual bring
Good news Bad News..
Download and tested and have a mixed set of results.
Yes, your setup does boot you kernel and the g4l.img file.
Not sure if your g4l.img file is just an uncompressed
version of the ramdisk.lzma.

Thanks. I've downloaded it, and will take a look.
Have contacted the GNU Grub developer, and asked.
Will see if they have an option that might work.
Thanks.

So the error message is "initramfs unpacking failed: no cpio magic". I
I guess you will need to repack your initramfs to be compatible with the
Fedora kernel.
Are you aware that there are various tools included with Fedora to help
you create live boot images?

Any reason why you're using an msdos disk label? I think that most

You do not need to do anything fancy at all with a Fedora USB install
media. Fedora comes with both UEFI and legacy boot mechanisms, so it
just works on all machines. Instead, you have a BIOS setting problem,
that is preventing you from seeing the USB key. Fix that, and
everything should
