[jaunty] Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 Beta on USB stick with Unetbootin

[Youri]

 I'm always using Unetbootin to try distros, so I did for Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope Beta. I download the official ISO from bittorrent and ran Unetbootin.exe on Windows XP to install it on a "Sandisk U3 Cruzer micro" USB stick (8 Go). Everything goes well but at reboot it fail...no way to boot on the USB stick (BIOS is OK, I'm booting from usb all the time) and Windows boot normally...
It was also impossible to use WUBY from the usb stick to install Jaunty in Windows so I burned a CD (same ISO) and everything goes well (live-cd and WUBY).

 EDIT : When I try to boot from USB nothing happen : no error messages...the laptop is booting exactly like without the live-usb. It seems that it's not even trying to boot from it.

 Acer Aspire 9300 wlmi, 4Go RAM

I have the same problem. My USB stick is a Freecom DataBar USB 2.0 Flash Drive, 2GB.

For me, the 'Live USB' booted on my Ubuntu-running EeePC 701, but not on my desktop (XP). Wuby was unavailable in Windows for me though, but it did seem to be there (I didn't test it) on the CD. Although, I'm not sure if my PC supports booting from USB - it is very old and I've never tried it before.

All are related in the fact that Jaunty fails to boot from Ubuntu on USB media. This was not a problem in Intrepid or before; however descriptions of what occurs during boot-up varies widely, but the end result is the same: install fails. Could this be a kernel issue?

Were there any errors when you booted from USB or did it just stop? Can you please provide more information.

Same problem for me - the USB device simply does not boot, and my Eee returns to the harddisk boot loader after a few seconds

Has anyone still this bug?

Thank You for making Ubuntu better.
