Downloaded few minutes ago Fedora 15 live x64 and used Fedora live usb creator to make my usb drive bootable.
Once configured correctly my bios Syslinux starts but it hangs on the startup message
"SYSLINUX 4.04 EDD 2011-04-18 COPYRIGHT (C) 1994-2011 H. PETER ANVIN ET AL"
any idea guys?

Hi
Run the CHECKSUM to verify download and try using a different USB key.

If you have linux installed on another partition, use DD.
Open a terminal, goto the directory containing your fedora live cd *.iso
su - c 'dd if=Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-Desktop.iso of=/dev/sdX'
Where X = letter of your usb drive
Remember, you will lose all contents of the USB drive.

Hi
Run the CHECKSUM to verify download and try using a different USB key.
The Checksum was verified, i tried on a smaller usb key (2 GB) and it worked.
Thanks!

I've got this same issue. Where do I find the md5 to check the download with?

Hi
Not MD5sum. SHA256
