Just confirming that I created a USB boot device using Startup Disk Creator a few days ago using Ubuntu 14.04 for a 14.10 installation iso and got the same problem on booting a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 (i5 CPU) laptop.

$ usb-creator-kde -v
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.13.3
Startup Disk Creator: 0.2.23

$ dpkg --list | grep usb-creator
ii usb-creator-common 0.2.56.2 amd64 create a startup disk using a CD or disc image (common files)
ii usb-creator-kde 0.2.56.2 amd64 create a startup disk using a CD or disc image (for KDE)

Using the workaround of typing "live" at the boot: prompt got me to a graphical interface, but I didn't test more as the installation failed, for what I think was an unrelated issue.

WORKAROUND: I created a 14.10 installation usb using a 14.10 computer and that worked on the laptop with no errors.
