Is that the Linux USB creator? I know the windows version does not.

I'm using the Fedora Live USB creator. Doesn't that name the stick

OK,
To prevent it name the sticks Fedora prior to putting the image on
them. (This step should be added to the online instructions.)
Now, if you did not change the name and need to modify the
syslinux.cfg, change the following lines: (you will have a
different UUID#)
append initrd=initrd0.img root=live:UUID=3D4E-8E71
rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=UUID=3D4E-8E71 quiet rhgb
rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD
append initrd=initrd0.img root=live:UUID=3D4E-8E71
rootfstype=vfat rw liveimg overlay=UUID=3D4E-8E71 quiet rhgb check
to
append initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=vfat rw
liveimg overlay=LABEL=FEDORA quiet rhgb rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD
append initrd=initrd0.img root=LABEL=FEDORA rootfstype=vfat rw
liveimg overlay=LABEL=FEDORA quiet rhgb check
I tested this fix and it works.

Hi,
I'm in the process of making sticks for our pilot in Delhi. I'm
running into the same problem as described. Can someone please
elaborate on how to resolve this problem. Specifically, how can I
modify syslinux.cfg to prevent this problem.
Thanks,
Anurag

I will check that on the sticks I have already made.
For future reference, it seems if the stick is already named
: FEDORA
and you put a live image on it, it works out of the box.
If you have it named something else then put the image on it,
change the
name to FEDORA, this still fails w/o the cahnge to the cmd line.
