@Phillip I can confirm there is a problem with booting Ubuntu Server 12.04 off a USB stick. I am using a very expensive (!!) Patriot quad channel USB stick and getting the same error as Phillip when using UNetbootin. I was unable to get multisystem (http://liveusb.info/dotclear/) to boot the OS

@Tom I'm glad you asked me that highly pertinent question! Yes. It's sitting on my HP Server and appears to have installed fine (using the stock Ubuntu Server USB image that UNetbootin created). If you try and install the packages included on the original CD image then you come unstuck because

Do you have the option of digital or analogue sound, on an HD Intel (Realtek) ALC889, using ALSA in your sound preferences (SYSTEM-PREFERENCES menu)?? What version of Ubuntu are you using? What kernel? What version of ALSA? I am using 9.04 beta (64-bit) with: pulseaudio 1.09.14 alsa-base

Daniel Thanks for getting back to me. I think this issue is really important to sort out as Intel Core 2 (+chipsets) are currently ruling in the laptop market. This sound problem could potentially affect a large number of (potential soon to be ex-!!) Ubuntu users. Not sure if you wanted the ALSA
