[Bug 1325801] Re: failed to boot from USB disk with error: gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R Image boot:

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

How about instead we just fix the bugs, given that it mostly works for
people? We however can't do this unless the individual bugs are
reported, and it helps a lot like people like Yu Ning provide patches
too when it's very specific corner cases. There is no other tool which
satisfies all of the "reliable", "easy to use" and "easy to maintain"
requirements -- it's not like usb-creator is very hard to maintain,
we're just dealing here with corner cases.

This particular issue here we've been at for a while, and this is simply
because while I'm happy to test things and to sponsor things, usb-
creator isn't the only thing I look after. Given that this isn't my top
priority, I was relying on Yu Ning to complete the fixes. I did not see
there was a new branch. Thankfully, we have Timo who also chimed in to
help with the SRU.

As it's been mentioned previously, there are other issues which may
affect behavior and make a SRU fail verification, something that we
might not have thought of -- the answer to this is to iterate over these
fixes, just as we've been doing now.

Can we please summarize the current state of this?

- Verification fails on Trusty and Precise.
- Does it work properly on Vivid? Presumably not because of the requirement for the architecture to be the same?

Given the same issue, it will also need to be fixed in Wily before the
fix can make it to the stable releases. I'm still happy to review and
sponsor proposed fixes.
