Now the error message is different: "Could not mount UUID=1706..."

syslinux.cfg must have matching UUIDs. Replace 1706-4700 with 0E96-8A79.

But then you can only boot installer and live. For run the second ext4 partition (sdb2) is required.

It is much better: waiting 38 sec until the server is up and failing with "Connection refused"

You have to wait until the CIFS server is up, not only the device.:

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "until nc -z 192.168.50.12 139;do sleep 1;done"

Now I'm confused: do you have always seen the syslinux boot screen?

4. Question: Can I type anything at the debug shell to troubleshoot ?

In this case:

ls -l /flash
blkid
mount

Which thread? My web search foo seem not to be good enough to find it.

To shorten this thread I've created an empty legacy boot only image with DOS partitioning scheme. After creating the stick you have to copy the LINUX and SYSTEM files of the desired LE release.

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-legacy.empty.img.gz.zip

I've no knowledge about the structure of an Ubuntu UUI stick therefore I can't answer this question.

When the Dell heuristic is not accepting the disk layout in legacy boot mode no configuration change can help.

If you succeed in creating an disk image that boot on the Dell into any linux boot loader (e.g syslinux or grub) LibreELEC can be manually added to it.

Now I got it, it is a race between devices. Create

[Unit]
Description=Wait for server
After=time-sync.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "until ping -c 1 -W 3 192.168.50.12;do sleep 1;done"
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "until ping -c 1 -W 3 192.168.50.13;do sleep 1;done"
StandardOutput=null
#StandardError=null
RemainAfterExit=yes

and add

Requires=wait-for-server.service
After=wait-for-server.service

to your mount units.

Untested, expect some rough edges.

Development notice: we should use the CIFS debug default. It is a PIA without:

 config CIFS_DEBUG
	bool "Enable CIFS debugging routines"
	default y
	depends on CIFS
	help
	  Enabling this option adds helpful debugging messages to
	  the cifs code which increases the size of the cifs module.
	  If unsure, say Y.

This is executed when opening the Chrome Addon.

Network is up but "No route to host" for 192.168.50.12 and 192.168.50.13.

What is the result of arp -a?

On 9.2.6+ add After=time-sync.target
