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

[Ilan Tal]

Virtual machines aren't really the problem. I didn't delve into it
deeply, but one of the options is select an iso file. I just went to the
Downloads folder and pointed to the 32 bit iso. Later on I see my disk
listed as SATA which points to the vdi file and an IDE optical drive
which would point to the iso file. (The actual optical is a SATA device,
not IDE.)

If I look at the disk on key in BIOS I see it listed as a hard disk. I
just give it top priority. How it REALLY works is beyond me.

What you are saying with this being a know issue, is there is absolutely
nothing I can do about the problem? My friend who has no CD as part of
the computer simply cannot use the 32 bit iso? I already put the 32 bit
version on 2 computers with 2GB but both of them had CDs. You are saying
I am dead in the water for the computer with no CD?

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.
