I created an F30 Live USB stick, but it won't boot properly. What happens is that it drops into emergency mode (dracut). Prior to this, journal messages from dracut-initqueue appear on the screen, the same message repeating every few seconds for a minute or so, then it drops into emergency mode. The repeating message is:
dracut--initqueue timeout -- starting timeout scripts
Then it just says "Warning: could not boot" and drops into emergency mode.
I did verify that my download of "Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso" is good (the calculated sha256sum matches the checksum from the download site). I created the stick using "unetbootin" which has always worked for me with previous Fedora releases. I tried rerunning "unetbootin" to recreate the on-stick OS, but the result was the same. I tried the stick on a Dell laptop and on a desktop based on the ASUS Z87 motherboard, same result.
Anybody else seen this? Has anyone successfully created an F30 Live USB stick?
Thanks, --Greg

Just use dd to write the iso directly to the USB device. Assuming, you USB drive is sdb:
sudo dd if=Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-30-1.2.iso bs=1M of=/dev/sdb
Works for me.

Indeed, unetbootin is known to have issues with the Fedora images. The documentation does mention this (in the third paragraph):
