[Bug 1440400] [NEW] Ubuntu vivid bootable USB doesn't boot in non-UEFI mode

[Pavak Paul]

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu vivid (daily builds) doesn't boot in non-UEFI/legacy mode. It
shows some error in cli but never boots. But if the same USB drive is
booted in UEFI mode in the same computer, it works.
