Hi Joachim, did now the full installation chain in legacy mode (mediawriter - iso - F26 Beta 1.3 build) all worked fine. If You think it's the usb stick, test with F3. If I get problems with one of my usb sticks, I make a new partition table on the stick with gparted, if gparted can not delete a fedora partition, I try a new Fedora install on this stick and interrupt this process, before the new data are written, by doing this afterwards gparted always "repaired" an usb stick which had only a SW corruption and no hardware defect. Kind regards Joerg

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

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,
I wrote the iso with mediawriter-4.1.0-1.fc25.x86_64 in F25 onto the USB stick, but if booted, it hangs up during "loading initrd.img".
This is before media check runs.

So your failure is happening at the 2nd step, you're still in the bootloader. This is almost certainly a USB stick problem. I'd just write the image again and maybe it'll fix itself as a transient failure. If not, the try another stick.
Hi Joerg,
now I could boot from the USB stick. I think, the reason was my impatience: Loading initrd.img needed about *3 minutes* to finish, and after this, my box proceeded to the F26 Live system as expected :-)
