I just use Unetbootin to write the latest Mango Lassi ISO on to a 4G USB 
stick.

I booted onto a Compaq and a Toshiba laptop, and After the initial 
splash screens, the boot process stops, and I get the following message

(Note '----------' indicates begining and end of message or file)
---------
No root device found
Boot has failed, sleeping forever
---------

On examining the files on the USB stick

in the /efi/boot folder, boot.conf is as below

--------------
default=0
splashimage=/EFI/boot/splash.xpm.gz
timeout 10
hiddenmenu

The root folder / the file syslinux.cfg is as follows

The ubnfilel.txt has

------------------------


The ubnpathl.txt has

---------------
isolinux
LiveOS
EFI/boot
EFI
-----------------

These are the only files that appear to be editable.

Any ideas as to how to get sugar to boot?
