Title:
  Early Syslinux Boot Error in pendrive made with the Ubuntu Startup
  Disk Creator

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I cannot make a USB boot drive with the  Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator
  in Lubuntu Wily beta 2.

  The SDC no longer complains about udisks. It finishes and seems
  successful, but the created pendrive does not work: There is an 'early
  error' when booting, a black screen with white letters at the top:

  "SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 20150813 Copyright (c) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et
  al

  Boot Error"

  I tested with 'the easiest case', in a live session of Wily: I tried
  to create a pendrive with Wily of the same architecture (i386 -->
  i386).

  Another user reported a case with amd64 (in 15.04), so the bug seems
  to affect both architectures.
