Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-creator-gtk

Ubuntu 10.10 USB ddisk creator is creating unbootable usb drives. Image was created with remastersys. If I boot from 10.04 the usb disk creator successfully creates a bootable usb drive. I'll post the boot error when booting from the 10.10 usb creater created drive later on

More info:

I used the USB disk creator in Ubuntu 10.10 and attempted to create a bootable usb drive using ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso. After it finished, I rebooted and received this error message when booting from the usb drive:

unknown keyword in configuration file: gfxboot
vesamenu.c32 not a COM32R image:
boot:

To rule out a bad usb thumb drive, I booted with Ubuntu 10.04 and used the USB disk creator using ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso. After it finished, it booted just fine into the setup. I believe this to be a bug with 10.10's USB disk creator.
