Boot Fedora 16 64 bit live boot from usb ibm hs22

I was not able to boot to a Fedora 64bit live usb stick. I downloaded the 64bit live iso and used the windows version of Fedora Live USB Created. The boot would drop out saying no root device.

Re: Lenovo S205 won't boot any Live USB Fedora distro

I was having this same exact problem on a Lenovo x120e Thinkpad, Fedora liveUSB created with unetbootin. Solved it by:

1. Find your USB disk label. When in the debug shell, run

Code:

ls /dev/disk/by-label/ UDISK

My label was UDISK. The fedora installer by default expects the label to be Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-Desktop (or similar)
2. Reboot and edit the GRUB boot command.

Code:

hit ENTER to view GRUB menu. hit 'e' to edit commands before booting. hit 'e' to edit top entry. change LABEL=Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-Desktop to LABEL= (also remove 'quiet rhgb' for verbosity) hit ENTER to accept and 'b' to boot.

that should do it.
