Fedora 13 USB boot on iMac not working

Hi,

I am unable to boot Fedora 13 from USB on to iMac 9th Generation Intel x86_64 system. A search on that led me to the known bug(BZ 528232). I took the patch and added iMac 9th diff too but it still does not seem to work. I can see the Grub loading Fedora but the display is messed up and is unreadable. Finally it hangs at some point at loading and does not go forward. Initially the grub was not loading Fedora at all, but when I added "nomodeset" to the kernel command line, I can see the scenario said above and the screen flickers continuously. I built the USB image with livecd-iso-to-disk with efi option.

Is there any known issue and any easy way to fix it, or am I doing anything wrong? Basically I just want to boot FC13 on an iMac using USB. Also, is there any way to debug the issue and see where the problem is?

Thanks,
