[Yung Shen]

image version: utopic-desktop-amd64.iso 17-Oct-2014 08:37

Trying to boot utopic images via default PXE configuration but received following messages:

"Failed to load ldlinux.c32"

Workaround:

copying ldlinux.c32, libcom32.c32, libutil.c32, chain.c32 to tftp root directory(/var/lib/tftpboot) in the iso under /isolinux/ directory

This bug was fixed in the package debian-installer - 20101020ubuntu350

---------------
debian-installer (20101020ubuntu350) utopic; urgency=medium

  * Cherry-pick from unstable (LP: #1378735):
    - Apply patch from Ron and Chris Kuehl to fix lib location and search
      path for syslinux >= 5. Some constraints include having ldlinux.c32 in
      the tftp root, and being able to find some support libraries thanks to
      a defined path (Closes: #756275). Many thanks!

Apparently doesn't quite work because the link isn't installed in the output directory.
