The same happens with real hardware in the form of a Dell Latitude E7440.
How should the USB stick be formatted in order to cp rdsosreport.txt?
Comment 2 Bjarne Thomsen 2014-11-11 17:31:07 CET 
I have checked my Dell Lattitude E7440 by booting
Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21_Beta-4
It booted fine in EFI mode, and installed Fedora 21
on my SSD, which is now booted in secure EFI mode.
I am looking forward to doing the same with Mageia-5-x86_64.

This bug is identical to bug #14367.

A workaround is described on https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13694#c10
