[Bug 608382] Re: Maverick images build on lucid fail to boot - different syslinux version
Here's a potential patch that will apply on both Maverick and Lucid usb- creator's. It unfortunately only fixes one manifestation of the problem (burning 10.10 or newer images on 10.04). Burning 10.04 images on 10.10 still will not work with it. ** Patch added: mangle.patch https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/syslinux/+bug/608382/+attachment/1530821/+files/mangle.patch ** Summary changed: - Maverick images build on lucid fail to boot - different syslinux version + Maverick images burned to usb key on lucid fail to boot - different syslinux version ** Also affects: syslinux (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: usb-creator (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: syslinux (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: syslinux (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu Lucid) Importance: Undecided = High ** Changed in: usb-creator (Ubuntu Lucid) Status: New = Triaged -- Maverick images burned to usb key on lucid fail to boot - different syslinux version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

There is a very simple work-around for this. When you are prompted with boot: simply type help and press enter.

[Bug 608382] Re: Maverick images build on lucid fail to boot - different syslinux version
I think the problem would go away if usbcreator booted from a loop-back ISO image on the memory stick. isolinux and syslinux are pretty well merged; syslinux it ought to be able to boot an iso image - as long as the initrd could continue and mount the iso-image... -- Maverick images build on lucid fail to boot - different syslinux version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can verify this bug. I've tried the usb-creator in lucid and unetbootin 408-1ubuntu0.10.04.1. None of them works for me though with the usb-stick made with unetbootin I do get at litlle further.

[Bug 608382] Re: Maverick images build on lucid fail to boot - different syslinux version
Extracting it from the ISO wont work because we'd then have to deal with mounting squashfs on differing kernels. As Mario suggested on IRC, try mounting a Maverick squashfs on a Hardy kernel. I talked this over with Colin yesterday and the best course of action for now is to check for maverick vs lucid and write an appropriate configuration file. Do note that the eventual switch to grub2 for the CDs (or isohybrid, for that matter) will fix this. -- Maverick images build on lucid fail to boot - different syslinux version https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/608382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After this workaround, i keep getting the boot error.. nothing else on my desktop. but in my laptop, it boots without any trouble. any suggestions why that might be the case.
