If this is the same problem I had, I have a fix. My old pc cannot boot from USB. I put kernel and initrd on a spare hard disk partition, and the root filesystem.squashfs on the usb stick /dev/sdb1. This works with boot option: live-media=/dev/sdb1. This boot option is documented in: http://manpage

It should not be necessary to specify root=UUID=46F1-C9E3 when booting with boot=casper. It will look through the disks and find the live CD by checking .disk/uuid. Can you please attach casper.log (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper)? ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu) Status: New =>
