Comment 4 for bug 290154

I can confirm this bug.
I've tried it the normal way on a blank fat32 partition, I got the error described. /media/disk/syslinux/syslinux.cfg was unreadable by gedit , and cat syslinux.cfg gave two blank files.
Same error when using the -s switch.
Different error when I tried persistant mode, I got: could not find kernel image vesamenu.c32
The syslinux directory is empty this time, however at the disk's root, I found syslinux.cfg, with these contents:

include menu.cfg
default vesamenu.c32
prompt 0
timeout 300
gfxboot bootlogo

I did find . | grep c32 but did not find anything.

I used an iso image for all the above.

I'm marking this bug as confirmed, and if there are no more questions, as triaged.
