I made a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS startup disk on my USB flash drive and when I go to reboot I get the following output:

Loading Operating System...

SYSLINUX 4.01 debian-20100714 EDD Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al

_

Q: Why is this happening?  What can I do to fix it? BIOS is configured to check for USB-HDD as always and has worked many times in the past.  Now after installing Ubuntu 10.10, it seems that I cannot even get rid of it.  My intention is to install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS again and then Ubuntu 10.10 right behind it.
