This is NOT duplicate of Bug #458482
This is a regression issue, introduced at/around: Ubuntu 10.10
This is a Syslinux issue, not a boot issue (per se).
It is "not always possible" to boot and install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (desktop OR
server), when the USB media has been created on Ubuntu 10.10 (or later) using
Startup Disk Creator.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes#Common%20Desktop%20Applications
" .. It is not possible to create Ubuntu 10.04 USB disks from the Startup Disk
Creator in Ubuntu 10.10 due to a backwards incompatibility in the syslinux
program."
NOTE: I am able to re-produced this issue, in the last 2 days, for
Ubuntu 11.10 + Unity, with latest patch/updates.
WORKAROUND: (works for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server & desktop)

Attempt to boot, either auto OR selecting USB from boot menu
When this SYSLINUX error message appears:
eg.
vesamenu.c32: Not a COM32R image
boot:
Type "help" <Enter>, then press <Enter> again.
( after several seconds, GUI demo/install menu appears )
Has there been any attempt to fix this?
