I tried to configure my USB with the image file for the latest Fedora-20 release using Image Writer. When I try to boot the installation from it in my PC the boot-loader is showing up but the load fails with the message:

[ 1.73447] nouveau E[ PDISP][000:01:00.0] chid 0 nthd 0x02a4 0x0000000 0x100032a4 0x00000000

So, where is the problem? What I am doing wrong?

linux
boot
fedora
liveusb

checkout this link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB

follow the dd command it worked for me

To write the ISO file directly to the disk, run:

su -c "dd if=/Users/me/Downloads/Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M"

Or, if you are running an Ubuntu-based distribution

sudo dd if=/Users/me/Downloads/Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M

Try using a Fedora-specific tool for creating live USB drives - Fedora Media Writer (Windows/Mac/Linux). Fedora Media Writer (formerly Fedora Live USB Creator) is a free and open source tool for easily installing live operating systems onto USB flash drives.

Features

  • Cross-platform (available for Windows, Mac and Linux)
  • There is no need to deal with formatting or partitioning your USB flash drive.
  • Automatically detects all removable devices
  • Supports automatically downloading various Fedora releases
  • Persistent storage creation, to save all documents created and modifications made to the system
  • Checksum verification
  • Not limited to Fedora releases, supports custom images
