Bug Description
I cannot make a USB boot drive with the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator in Lubuntu Wily beta 2.
The SDC no longer complains about udisks. It finishes and seems successful, but the created pendrive does not work: There is an 'early error' when booting, a black screen with white letters at the top:
"SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 20150813 Copyright (c) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al
Boot Error"
I tested with 'the easiest case', in a live session of Wily: I tried to create a pendrive with Wily of the same architecture (i386 --> i386).
Another user reported a case with amd64 (in 15.04), so the bug seems to affect both architectures.
