I created a bootable USB-Stick using the Pendrive Universal USB Installer as suggested on the Ubuntu website, because I want to install Ubuntu 13.04 Desktob amd64. When I turned on my PC with the USB-stick inserted, it found it, but told me this:

SYSLINUX 4.06 EDD 2012-10-23 Copyright (C) 1994-2012 H: Peter Anvin et al ERROR: No configuration file found No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found boot:

My PC is an Acer Travelmate with 4 GB RAM and currently a 64bit System.

Does anyone have an idea what the problem is and what I can do to make it work? (I'm a total newcomer to Ubuntu)

Thanks!

I finally resolved the problem like this (but couldn't get my internet working rightaway, hence the late answer):

I formatted my USB-Stick to FAT32, then used unetbootin to create a bootable USB-Stick. My computer detected it, there appeared a list with several options (Try Ubuntu; Install Ubuntu now; etc.) but the automatic boot failed, with the same error appearing as before:

Invalid or corrupt kernel image

boot:

I did it another time and instead of allowing it to boot automatically, I selected "Install Ubuntu now". This worked out fine and there was no complaint about an invalid or corrupt kernel image. (I don't understand totally what the kernel image is, but a friend, who has Ubuntu himself, told me, as long as Ubuntu works now, the error-message from before doesn't matter.)

Thanks for all the help!
