Also, can you verify the integrity of the .iso file before burning your CD image? If you're unfamiliar with getting an MD5 sum, instructions can be found here:

Title:
  boot from USB stick doesn't work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I tried 2 images; ubuntu 16.04 64bit and kubuntu 16.04 64 bit. For each image I installed to a USB stick 8GB; one time using dd command under kubuntu 12.04 and the other time LiLi USB creator under windows 7.
  Same result in all cases, the computer sees the USB stick and starts a boot, but that fails without any usefull error message. It just prints

  boot

  no key (incl. [TAB], ESC ) is giving any other result then

  boot

  after 30 sec the computer boots from next device - without problems.

  I have a AMD Phenom II X6, 16 Gb RAM, NVIDIA grafik card.

  regards,
  Marcus Menzel
