Comment:
What image are you using? Note that our ISOs aren't (yet) hybrid MBR/ISOs
so you can't use the ISOs for booting USB sticks.
Anyway, the problem is that our boot code/MBR doesn't provide a valid
partition table and the (broken) BIOS assumes to boot from an "active"
partition which isn't there. The problem is assuming a partition table in
that way is broken because there's more than one partitioning system
(think GPT or just custom boot code). Nothing we can do about other than
faking a partition table. It's not a USB problem anyway.
I'm pretty sure this problem is logged already, but I can't find the
ticket.
