The longer story....
I have a Shuttle with an Athlon XP 2000+ cpu and 512MB ram. It is configured for dual boot - Windows (XP Pro) / Linux (now Lubuntu 14.04).
It was running Lubuntu 12.04 and I wanted to use ffmpeg but I got an error messsage - "illegal operation" so I thought to upgrade it to 16.04.
I have a 32GB usb stick which currently has 21 different boot/install options using YUMI multiboot. I wasn't sure if the PC would boot from it but it did, up to the point of the YUMI menu. Every option I tried from the menu would start to boot and then hang at apparently the same point in the boot process. The PC has a DVD drive but won't boot from DVD, only CD. The 16.04 Alternate iso won't fit on a CD. So I did a distribution upgrade to 14.04 and still ffmpeg wouldn't run. Then I caught on that the version of ffmpeg I was using was too modern for the cpu so I compiled one which worked. I can presumably do another upgrade to 16.04 if I still want it, but not until the option is available from the update manager. Currently the PC is doing what I want it to do ... slowly. I am in no hurry to make further changes.--
I'm assuming you are referring to my Shuttle PC. I think this extract from lshw is what you want.

If you're thinking it might have something to do with the failure to boot from usb, there's another idea I stumbled across some time ago, possibly in connection with this PC. Apparently some boot processes temporarily disable the usb controller - not very helpful if you're using it to boot.

Hi Lubuntuers,
Let us discuss the problem that the current Lubuntu alternate iso files
are oversized for CD disks. I filed a bug report about it, but it has
not generated much heat.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1572429
Do you want to make an effort to create a CD sized alternate iso file,
or is it time for Lubuntu to abandon those old computers, that only boot
from CD?
We can suggest to try booting via Plop and a USB boot drive
(chainloading after Plop has supplied a USB driver).
Best regards
Nio
