Bug Description
I did the following:
Format 2GB Kingston flash drive with FAT16, using gparted
syslinux /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sda1 /media/disk/
wget http://
bunzip2 boot.img.gz
mkdir /media/dummy/
mount -o loop boot.img /media/dummy/
cp /media/dummy/* /media/disk/
Hardware is a Jetway J7F2WE1G5, which is a CN700/VT8237R chipset with a 1.5GHz C7-D CPU and 512MB DDR2. Buggy factory BIOS requires several reboots to get the usb drive to actually boot (known issue, affects all usb flash drives), and when it does finally boot, it shows the splash screen, loads the kernel and initrd (....done!), and the system reboots. Tried all the install options, including command line and expert install, all produce the same result.
