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

[Ilan Tal]

Does the 32 usb stick boot correctly on your machine? I have been using the startup disk creator from day 1 since that is what is described in the help.
Upon thinking I have always used this particular machine to run the startup disk creator. It works fine for the 64 bit version. If you manage to make a 32 usb stick which boots correctly, I will try the startup disk creator on a number of other machines. I can also try the dd program to see if that is any different.

I am very surprised that it seems to work for most people. Why should my
Ubuntu be different? First I need to know that it really works for you
with a physical stick and a boot from power on.

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.
