** 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 (I'd noted at the time) that booted, and didn't have an issue, so details of box are NOT the problem. On boxes that have the issue boot stops at "unable to find medium container a live file system Attempt interactive netboot from a URL?" (no squashfs check on plymouth type display is seen) ** Addendum - It's not impacting all BIOS boxes either FAILED to boot are - hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290) - dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e6850, 5gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550) - (these boxes are near my primary box so always first) - But boxes that boot are + dell [optiplex] 745 (c2d-6600, 6gb, amd/ati radeon rv516/x1300/x1550) + dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt) + dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 4gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350) + hp dc7900 (c2d-e8400, 4gb, intel 4 series integrated i915) + hp 8200 elite sff (i5-2400, 8gb, nvidia quadro 600) + + lenovo thinkpad sl510 (c2d-t6570, 2gb ram, i915) + motion computing j3400 (c2d-u9400, 4gb, intel mobile 4 series) - It APPEARS the boxes that boot are newer; I had a fail & pass with a - d755 that have identical boxes but have different motherboards (no PS2 - mouse/keyboard ports in booting example) + It APPEARS the boxes that boot are newer; OR issue only impacts a small + subset of BIOS boxes.

I also deleted all entries I'd started on - iso.qa.ubuntu.com (assuming bad media) + iso.qa.ubuntu.com (assuming bad media). Note I would have used the + failed boxes as they're on the same desk as my primary box. 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.
