F14 Live Hangs at boot up

[metaylor]

I just downloaded Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso from http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora and used the LiveUSB Creator (Windows version) to create a LiveUSB just as I have been doing for the last year for F12.

When I boot the system the bios splash screen is displayed as usual. Then the system hangs with the following message on the display:

SYSLINUX 3.01 1009-05-29 EBIOS Copyright (C) 1994-2009 H. Peter Arvin et al

It hangs here and never completes the boot process.

I have tried 3 different laptops (Sony VAIO, Dell D630, and IBM T60) and they all exhibit this issue.

I have also burned the image to two different USB devices but this did not resolve the issue.

I have used two different versions for the LiveUSB Creator (3.9.1 & 3.9.2) but this did not resolve the issue.

I have downloaded the ISO file a second time but still not able to resolve this issue.

Anybody seen this before?

I have LiveUSB Creator 3.9.2 in F13 and have recently used it to create a F14 liveusb with
a persistent overlay using the Fedora-14-i686-Live-Desktop.iso and it boots and runs on a desktop
and two laptops. Don't know but maybe there are issues with the Windows version of LiveUSB Creator.

I downloaded syslinux-4.02.zip and copied syslinux.exe to C:\Program Files\LiveUSB Creator\tools.

Created a new LiveUSB and it now works! Thanks
