Reblogged from Ray Woodcock's Latest:
I was trying, without success, to boot a desktop machine, using Ubuntu 10.10 or 12.04. I had both versions available on CD and also on a YUMI multiboot USB drive. I was doing this at a time when I was distracted by other projects and especially unwilling to devote time to this particular issue; hence, this post wound up being long and tangled, where in other circumstances I would have broken it out into two or more shorter and more focused pieces.
