There seem to be three of us experiencing this issue... Has anyone had
any success upgrading the BIOS? I haven't had time to figure out how to
make a large enough DOS image that actually fits the BIOS upgrade on it
:)

Bug description:
  saucy daily-live images are unbootable on Dell Optiplex 990. I just get a BusyBox shell.
  I have tried the latest live images for the past few days without any luck. And the bug persists regardless of which graphics card (or none) I have in.

  Tried at least:
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130814/
  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/20130815/

  and the Optiplex 990 cannot boot them.

  Interestingly, the same USB images do boot successfully on a Thinkpad X220.
