My suggestion would be: - re-do the checksum verification against the download to make sure it hasn't gotten damaged in the meantime. - dd the iso to the SD card - do the checksum verification against the SD card. If this passes the copy on the card should be good. If you want to be doubly sure do the "cmp" or "diff" with the downloaded iso and the SD card - there is no reason to make a third copy of the iso. > > o are you in UEFI mode or "legacy" mode?

I'm not even sure if F42 requires UEFI - I've been using UEFI for a while now so I haven't had to worry about it. I think I have a laptop that runs F40 in "legacy" mode, but it would have been an upgrade from an earlier Fedora version, F36 or even earlier. -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
