Hi,
I have created a bootable Ubuntu 12.04 install on a 16Gb USB stick as per the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2060493. It is not performing as expected though in that it frequently fails to boot. The most perplexing thing about this is that the behaviour is not deterministic, it will behave differently from attempt to attempt, sometimes booting, other time failing for the exact same hardware setup. The failed attempts always start the same though, I can see the activity LED on the USB stick (the laptop itself is configured to boot from USB by default) and then I will see error messages at the top of a blank screen:
error: file not found
error: no suitable mode found
error: no video mode activated
after this point the next error message can change from attempt to attempt
error: invalid extent / error: out of memory / error: invalid architecture independent ELF magic.
If I wait around for long enough (minutes) it may ultimately bring up the boot menu but no matter what option I choose (boot Ubuntu/ boot Ubuntu recovery/ boot older Linux versions) I will never manage to successfully boot.
So, does anyone know what is going on here? In parallel with this full install I also have a Ubuntu Live install on another 4Gb USB stick and this seems to be bullet-proof boot-wise; I have never seen it fail, is there any way to get the full install to boot as consistently and reliably as the Live version ?

I have created a bootable Ubuntu 12.04 install on a 16Gb USB stick as per the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2060493. It is not performing as expected though in that it frequently fails to boot. The most perplexing thing about this is that the behaviour is not deterministic, it will behave differently from attempt to attempt, sometimes booting, other time failing for the exact same hardware setup. The failed attempts always start the same though, I can see the activity LED on the USB stick (the laptop itself is configured to boot from USB by default) and then I will see error messages at the top of a blank screen:
error: file not found
error: no suitable mode found
error: no video mode activated
after this point the next error message can change from attempt to attempt
error: invalid extent / error: out of memory / error: invalid architecture independent ELF magic.
If I wait around for long enough (minutes) it may ultimately bring up the boot menu but no matter what option I choose (boot Ubuntu/ boot Ubuntu recovery/ boot older Linux versions) I will never manage to successfully boot.
So, does anyone know what is going on here? In parallel with this full install I also have a Ubuntu Live install on another 4Gb USB stick and this seems to be bullet-proof boot-wise; I have never seen it fail, is there any way to get the full install to boot as consistently and reliably as the Live version ?
