Hi Joachim,
I have prepared iso s on USB sticks, both 2GB and 64GB each, the iso s - F26 Beta 1.3 - prepared with fedora mediawriter on F24 in UEFI mode, the iso s boot correctly in EFI mode as well as in Legacy mode. But so far I could not prepare a F26 iso running in Legacy mode, can there be a difference producing the iso boot medium in Legacy compared to EFI?
Kind regards

Hi Joerg,

the described boot issue is independent from the media size, the booting
fails too with a 16GB sized usb stick. There was no special reason for
me to use a 64GB stick (It was the only one which was available for me).
