I made several attempts to get a bootable stick. 2 of the tries ended up
in a state as described above.
I get a "boot:" prompt, pressing enter shows an error message about
vesamenu.c32 not found.
I see that file file was copied to the syslinux folder on the stick. I
also ran the ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso file in a virtual machine
where it succeeded the disk check and also booted flawlessly.
