[Bug 1489790] [NEW] syslinux install is broken on kubuntu 15.10 beta1

[Thomas Weissel]

Public bug reported:

syslinux -if /dev/sdb1

finishes fine but when starting the usb flashdrive it simply says "boot
error"

performing the same step on a 14.04 machine and the usb flashdrive is
able to show me the syslinux options and boot properly.


uname -a
Linux wald 4.1.0-3-generic #3-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 28 12:25:10 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

dpkg -l|grep syslinux
ii  syslinux                                                    3:6.03+dfsg-8ubuntu2


--------------
using the start-disk-creator (usb-creator-kde) leads to the same result..  the created flashdrive doesn't boot.
