I'm seeing the same symptoms:

I created an image using 14.10 (fully updated) amd64 desktop
Target iso was 14.04.1 i386 desktop.

The 'live' workaround worked for me.

I have the same problem with the Daily Build of Ubuntu 14.10 downloaded on 31st August 2014, I tried the TAB then "live" and it booted. I understand this is something that seems to crop up from time to time and is related to the compiler of the build, could it be accessing an old "boot-enabler" that only worked on some hardware.

I installed ubuntu& UK 64bit on lattop HP-Pavilion-Sleekbook-15-PC , it works.
but on the other mache for example thinkpad-201i, dell inspiron, lenovo,it did not work.

for ubuntu & uk 32bit no matter what machine ,it did not work . it wierd.

I also used unetbootin for latest iso 2014/9/14 ubuntukylin 64bit , only works on HP-Pavilion-Sleekbook-15-PC, other machine

Issues with usb-creator or other USB writing tools are completely different, even though they have the same final symptom. Please do not report them here. The usb-creator issue is bug 1325801.
