Fedora Live Usb won't boot
I have written the fedora 22 32-bit iso to a 32gb usb thumb drive with the dd command in ubuntu 15.04. The terminal stated the write was successful. I have verified my iso isnt corrupt with the SHA256SUM.
When I try to boot, I get the following message:
end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
I would really like to install fedora 22 to my desktop, but it won't boot. Any ideas?

Readers, PLEASE BE AWARE that on some systems, this specific command will "format" (COMPLETELY OVERWRITE) an internal hard drive instead. Take great care when specifying theof=parameter. In theory there should be no reason to overwrite with zeros first - it should be just as effective to write the Fedora-Workstation-Live 28 to the USB a second time, without zeroing the drive first.

Your USB was almost certainly not written correctly, e.g. your USB thumb drive might need replacing.
In theory, you need to use a method of writing to the USB which re-checks the written data. This can be quite difficult, sorry.

Ironically, the simplest suggestion I have is if you also have a Windows computer available. Download Fedora Media Writer on Windows. Optionally, Fedora Media Writer can also download and verify the iso file for you. Whatever way you download the iso to Windows, you can then use Fedora Media Writer to write it to the USB, and it will automatically re-check the data on the USB after it has been written.
