[Bug 1426738] [NEW] live image does not boot: "Missing parameter in configuration file"

[Glen Ditchfield]

Public bug reported:

I created a bootable thumb drive from kubuntu-15.04-beta1-desktop-
amd64.iso (using usb-creator-gtk on an Ubuntu 14.04.2 system) and used
it to boot an HP EliteBook 8440p.

The HP displayed the message
        Missing parameter in configuration file. Keyword: path
and then repeatedly displayed
        gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R image
        boot:

I entered the command "help", and then Enter after the help menu
displayed. This lead to successful a start-up.
