[Bug 1512811] Re: 15.10 32 bit download gives error when run from usb

[Ilan Tal]

Hi Philip,
Yesterday I tried again to download the latest 15.10 32 bit, just in case something might have changed. The error I get is simply "boot error".
As to the question if it is machine specific the answer is "no". I though something might be wrong with my disk on key so I took it to the store where I bought it. The person there got a boot error on his Windows machine. He said it was an iso error, but I asked him how could Ubuntu have such an error and not know about it?

I really needed to upgrade a machine my friend had with 13.10, so I
burned a DVD. The DVD worked so I was able to get the job done but
something is definitely wrong with the USB disk on key. I bought a
second disk on key, one from ScanDisk and one from Transcend and both
have the same problem.

Xubuntu 32 has the same problem but the 64 bit software works fine. This
sounds crazy but there is something different about the 32 bit boot,
ONLY on a usb disk on key.

Title:
  15.10 32 bit download gives error when run from usb

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There seems to be a problem with the grub when trying to use 15.10, 32 bit downloaded from the official Ubuntu site.
  The 64 bit version works fine.
  If I take ubuntu-15.10-desktop-i386.iso and use it to define a new virtual machine in virtual box, again all works well.
  Only if I use Startup disk creator to burn it to a usb disk on key there is a problem.
  Instead of Try Ubuntu coming up I immediately get a boot error.

  I tried downloading a second version of the iso and the problem
  repeated. Also if I download xubuntu-15.10-desktop-i386.iso the
  problem also appears.
