** Description changed: ** Synopsis I haven't been able to get ISOs to boot on older BIOS based boxes since late Sunday (7-June). Examples are Ubuntu, Ubuntu-Studio, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and since then Lubuntu too. - NOTE: - - This `ubuntu-bug` report was filed on the only box that booted, and - didn't have an issue, so details of box are NOT the problem. + NOTE: This `ubuntu-bug` report was filed on the only box (I'd noted a + the time) that booted, and didn't have an issue, so details of box are + NOT the problem.

I also deleted all entries I'd started on iso.qa.ubuntu.com (assuming bad media) Last night (Wednesday 10 June) I grabbed all again, wrote to media again, and tried booting & failed. ISO was tried on four different thumb-drives, using two boxes to write the media. It failed to boot on multiple tried boxes (HP, DELL.. all BIOS). Also the Lubuntu was updated (zsync) & written and it won't boot either anymore. Most hardware I test on is old/BIOS boxes. Just now I re-tried a thumb- drive on this newer UEFI and it boots here - ie. issue appears to impact only BIOS boxes (c2d, c2q etc) Note: I also have loads of issues with thumb-drive (worn out maybe?) which is why I deleted my iso.qa.ubu entries, and didn't raise this till today. 3 thumb-drives were purchased this year, 2 have never given me issues.
