live usb - Disk errors while trying to boot LiveUSB on laptop



I made an Ubuntu 15.04 LiveUSB and now am trying to boot it to install on a SSD. While trying to boot from it the following errors happen:

A couple of hours staring in front of the screen, I just shutdown the machine because there is nothing I can do.



FYI, the worker lines sometimes doesn't appear, so the INFO statements display the actual error.



Some concerns:




  • The USB was built using Startup Disk Creator from Ubuntu 14.10


  • The ISO is not corrupt according to sha256sum

  • Yeah, I wrote down 'da whole text manually

  • Couldn't find any real dupe, this (and child posts too) doesn't contain any solution. Even I tried adding nomodeset to the grunt file but no luck at all

  • The USB stick is 2.0, but I tried with both ports 2.0 and 3.0

  • Just tried the USB stick on another computer and is working fine



Looks like this post has some interesting stuff. Braiam said that there could be an electrical issue related. In fact, I turn off the machine, wait 'till the next day, unplug the electrical power and it's working! Damn electrical power..
