USB Install Issues With 10.10 Maverick Meerkat

**catrincm** · December 26th, 2010

I had the same problem (not recognising "gfxboot") whilst booting jolicloud from a netbook. This solution also worked for me, although I'd like to know why...

edit: although this seemed to work (it allowed me to get jolicloud up) the disc was still corrupted in that it came up with errors when I tried to install it. Problem was solved by using the disc creator from jolicloud instead of ubuntu's startup disc creator.

Just type "help" on the BOOT prompt, and when you get the help menu, just hit enter. The system will now boot!

I couldn't believe how simple this was!

And 3 months later Canonical can't fix a critical error in their installation media.

Come on.

I am unable to edit the syslinux.cfg file. What editor did you use? I got bizarre looking symbols when I tried gedit. Same with vim, ooffice. Someone please help!

I think I used Nano.
