Package: cdimage.debian.org
Severity: normal
Couldn't boot neither x86 nor amd64 Debian 5.0.5 installer from USB
pen drive on Lenovo Thinkpad X200s laptop. 256 Mb hd-media boot.img
was written to a 4 Gb Transcend flash drive and a netinst CD image was
copied there then. Boot was failing before the loader (syslinux) was
able to print anything.
This was resolved by updating syslinux version: syslinux 4.01 has been
downloaded and the following command was executed in Windows:
syslinux -ma d:
After it the image was able to boot and successfully install the
system (although syslinux couldn't find menu file so it had to be
entered manually in the prompt).

Closing as Lenny is now out of support and this problem is fixed in
newer images.
