Public bug reported:
Today I upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) from vivid and creating boot
disks (USB, vfat) stopped working.
I tried my best to find what's the problem, but I couldn't identify it.
It looks like it's related to LP: #398241 (or the debian bug referred
there)
Essentially, I did
1. create empty USB disk
2. format as vfat (mkfs -t ... -- -F32 -n 'label')
3. syslinux --install path/to/image -t 512
4. boot a computer with it
5. SYSLINUX 6.03 ... "boot error" <-- is displayed
I then downgraded to syslinux 3:6.03+dfsg-5ubuntu1, did the same thing,
and it worked again.
I believe this is related to ldlinux.sys, ldlinux.c32, linux.c32,
menu.c32, or libutil.c32, since at least the machine boots to syslinux,
it simply does not proceed to display my menu.
