Hello everyone...I have used the Fedora 24 Live Installer on my Macbook to make a Live Usb. I can boot from that on my mac using OPTION when booting, but when I installed it to another USB(From the live one) I can no longer boot. It has the fedora logo, but it goes to "emergency mode" dracut command line, and I have found no answers on Google...The errors I get are as follows,

"Warning: /dev/fedora/root does not exist.
"Warning: /dev/fedora/fedora-root does not exist.

You may want to regenerate your initramfs.

Any help would be appreciated.

You might be better off asking on the Fedora forums. This is mostly a gaming community, so experience with both MacBooks and Linux will be a tad sparse. My guess is that it tried to write to the MacBook's EFI table to add it's boot entry but because Apple it's not having any of that

Well, instead of using a USB, I decided to partition my hard drive (250 GB) and left 30 GB extra space (Already have Windows installed+MacOS), went back to the live USB and created the mount points...then it installed and I can triple boot fedora windows and macOS!

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
