Indeed. it sounds like it's not the problem: the system *is* finding some boot device it isn't happy with. And this boot device is most probably (not 100%, but close ;) the freshly-prepared USB stick. So I'd say first go for the stick (how it was prepared, etc.) then go for the BIOS. Then go for the rest. cheers - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlk5CTUACgkQBcgs9XrR2kacrgCfdZ240/tPQ65gCGJ35QRdEKXg d/oAn3zmtS567EV3/HjIXqkzgwy5kPyj =A9xu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
