- I can't get md5sums because of errors at
- http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/413/builds/216043/downloads,
- so I just re-ran zsync to verify download & it confirms 100% downloaded,
- so I'm assuming that isn't at fault.

  The ISO was written twice to two different thumb-drives. Same issue each
  time on same boxes.
  
  On a number of boxes it’s wanting me to download aka
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1883040 however it’s done
  that on boxes not impacted by that bug, which makes me think thumb-
  drive/squashfs errs related.  Also results of boot appeared different on
  varying boxes (inconsistent; dc7700 reported no thumb-drive; d755-5 also
  did that sometimes, sometimes it got to wanting to download - those two
  boxes were impacted by prior report; the remaining boxes were more
  consistent in response..; but if trouble reading data on thumb-drive
  then the slower boxes (dc7700/d755-5) may have more issues & thus be
  less consistent?)
  
- Further I noted @leok has recorded a valid test today which means a real
- issue is unlikely (this severe anyway), thus thumb-drives & me (operator
- error) not ruled out.
- 
  I'll file this as a bug report so I can close my failed QA-tests, but
  I'm considering changing the status to 'incomplete', and re-testing
  tomorrow, OR it needs me to re-write ISO from a different box to a
  third-thumb-drive as I don't think I've ruled out media issues given
  Leok's report.
