[Bug 1325801] Re: failed to boot from USB disk with error: gfxboot.c32: not a COM32R Image boot:

 

i would recommend first checking the md5 of the iso AND the usb against
the published md5. if it fails, it is an error in either the download
process (iso fails) or the usb creation (usb fails). try a re-download
or a re-creation, depending on what's appropriate.

assuming that's no problem, i'd try it out on a different machine (or
perhaps a different virtual machine).

failing that, and assuming everyone is using usb-creator-kde, it should
be checked against usb-creator-gtk. i doubt there's any difference, but
maybe. if that fails, too, then the next step would be to try unetbootin
and dd.

if there's a consistent problem on all machines and all methods of
creating the usb, i would file the bug against syslinux, since that
suggests the issue is with the iso itself. i would do the same if it is
specific to a particular machine, although we might want to dig deeper
to find out what specifically is the issue (perhaps some driver or
something).

if one usb creation method works where others don't, the bug should be
filed against the ones that don't work. i have found in general the
unetbootin provides pretty good results and dd never fails.

hope that helps!
