Title:
  usb drives imaged with usb-creator fail to boot on some systems

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  When using usb-creator-[gtk|kde] to image a drive, some systems will
  fail to boot unless the system bios is set to "USB Mass Storage
  Emulation Type" to "All Fixed Disc" from "Auto Detect".  This is
  reproducible on the following Intel boards: D945GCFL D945GCFL2,
  DP35DP, DQ33HS.  All systems have been verified to have the latest
  available bios from Intel.  Until this setting is made, the only
  message received is "Boot Error".

  This used to work with usb-creator for Jaunty.  I have retried images
  that worked with Jaunty (through Karmic Beta) to verify this is not an
  image issue.  This affects UNR, Moblin-remix, Desktop-i386, Desktop-
  amd64, and probably others as well.
