Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: systeminstaller

I am trying to install Kubuntu 8.04 beta from USB. I have never attempted a USB 
install before, so I used this page as a guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
I used the isotostick.sh script linked to on that page.

When I boot from USB I get the Kubuntu graphic with the following text:
"The default installation is suitable for most desktop or laptop systems. Press 
F1 for help and advanced installation options.
To install only the command-line base system, type 'cli' then ENTER. For the 
default installation, press ENTER."

I press enter, then I get this error message:
"could not find kernel image: /install./vm"

I googled the error, and the only hit was to the following thread on the Ubuntu 
forums:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=71567&page=3

The user DaBruGo posted some changes that he made to the syslinux.cfg file. I 
used his syslinux.cfg file, which suggests a kernel location of "vmlinuz" 
instead of"/install/vmlinuz", but got a rather similar error message:
"could not find kernel image: vmlinux"

The hardware is a Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 with a 2gHz Intel DuoCore2
processor, 2GB RAM, ATI X1400 graphics, and 1680x1050 display. The 80GB
hard drive has an Hardy-alpha6 on sda1 (15 GB), my daily driver Feisty
on sda2 (15 GB), 3 GB swap on sda3, and about 45GB on sda4 which is
mounted at /home.
