Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
I used usb-creator 0.1.10 with daily Ubuntu Intrepid LiveCD ISOs (e.g. from Oct. 25th) on a 2GB SanDisk cruzer micro. Everything looked fine and I could choose it as a bootable device from the BIOS menu. The result, as per what I copied off the screen:
---
Searching for Boot Record from USB RMD-FDD..OK
SYSLINUX 3.63 Debian-2008-07-15 CBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2008 H. Peter Anvin
boot:
---
Which is where it stops; when I press return, I get this error message:
---
Could not find kernel image: linux
---
The same thing also happened with a 4GB Kingston DataTraveler flash drive.

Can you format the device and re-run usb-creator with the -s option (`usb-creator -s` from a terminal window) and reply to this bug report with whether or not that fixed the problem for you?
Thanks
