SYSLINUX 6.03 | “Boot Error” with live usb of Ubuntu 15.10 – How to Fix It

Method 1. Write the iso to usb using dd command

Use the lsblk command to find the usb device name.

$ lsblk -d
NAME MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda    8:0    0 111.8G  0 disk 
sdb    8:16   0 465.8G  0 disk 
sdc    8:32   1  15.1G  0 disk 
sr0   11:0    1  1024M  0 rom

Its sdc here, so the device path would be /dev/sdc


Now run the dd command to write the iso file to the usb drive.

$ sudo dd if=ubuntu-15.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=1M

Now the usb should boot fine.
