Victor's symptoms are very different from mine but I haven't tried a USB
install of Ubuntu for months.

I tried multiple USB sticks and they all had the same behavior.  I could
boot to live CD on my laptop and one desktop but could not boot on the
Gigabyte Motherboard.  I bought a DVD reader for that system and used
the same ISO to boot an load.

Once the system was booted it verified md5 sums on all the files on the
stick.

I believe a pertinent piece of information is that Startup Disk Creator
and UNetbootin produce slightly different messages before the failure.
This suggests to me that the bootloader is being read by BIOS but its
disk driver is failing.

I have been working with Scientific Linux (a Fedora derivative) for work
but I installed that from DVD.  I'll make a USB and see if they can boot
a live CD.
