Description MarcH 2010-10-15 09:37:44 UTC
Description of problem:
unetbootin fails to parse syslinux "include" statements. As a result, boot config files are incorrect and the boot process fails half-way with the message "no init found. try passing init= bootarg". Already reported in Launchpad and fixed in version 490.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
485

How reproducible:
With ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso (among others)

Comment 1 MarcH 2010-10-15 10:10:20 UTC
I downloaded from sourceforge the unetbootin-linux-494 standalone binary pre-compiled for Fedora and everything worked fine. The first, UNetbootin boot menu now includes all the menu entries correctly carried over from the original CD.

Version 485 offered only "Default" and "Help", both of them eventually halting in Busybox with this message: "no init found. try passing init= bootarg"
