plug the usb stick in. Open the usb and you will see a folder called
syslinux. Inside the folder is the syslinux.cfg file. You can edit
this in notepad, it is a text file.

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

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.
