can't boot fedora 23 livecd on my tablet

I can get it booting and can see the filling splash. However, my usb drive is attached through the tablet's OTG port which needs DWC3_XHCI to be on, which most kernels don't. Can I re-compile the vmlinuz0 in /isolinux? Or where can I get a copy to get it enabled?

EDIT: I found this dwc3.ko may be helpful, but how to load it into the kernel at grub? I can't use keyboards after the kernel loads as it's also on that OTG hub.

EDIT2: I disabled rghb and quiet in the boot loader, and found out that I stuck at this:

[OK] Reached Target Basic System.

Well, you'd have to compile your own version of the installation media. The installer used by the Fedora project is Anaconda and the source code can be found on Github. Their wiki contains a detailed building guide but it doesn't mention specifically how to prepare the installation media.

Another project you may want to look into is Kickstart, which you can use to prepare customized installation media. Again, no clear method of replacing only the kernel of the default installer.

Seems like the only thing i need to touch is the kernel, while seems like anaconda deals with things more high level. Maybe I can just grab a copy of the media's kernel source and compile it, then replace /isolinux/vmlinuz0? – Johnson Steward – 2015-11-05T10:14:52.847

Why don't you try? – hedgie – 2015-11-06T22:10:09.687

my only machine is this tablet and it's currently using android, i can run very limited tools (from busybox) on it. – Johnson Steward – 2015-11-07T04:12:57.080
