Re: [ubuntu-uk] Trouble with 14.04 live USB stick

2014-05-21 Thread Stuart Ward 
I also had some problems with unetbootin in that it creates its own version
of the syslinux.cfg file, and this was in the root directory and thus
overideing the version from the syslinux directory.

I only discovered this after using these instructions

How weird is this?
Got exactly the same results with another USB stick.
In a sort of lateral thinking mode, I tried one of the sticks in a USB 2 
port instead of a USB 3 port.

Guess what? They both work OK.
Looks like there's a problem with the Live USB stick and USB 3 ports.

If that fails, try downloading the alternate installer.

Can you try a different USB stick, just in case the one you're using has
developed a hardware issue?

If that fails, try downloading the alternate installer.
