I haven't spent much time trying to figure out why it wont boot past the initial screen. I did turn off 'quiet' and saw a kernel panic... but other than that I really didn't put much effort into booting it. I may be getting my other x86 laptop back to play with, and that one boots from USB. I do think I booted it from USB... but that computer I have to use GRUB to boot from USB anyhow, so it is possible if you already have GRUB2 installed, but I have not tried booting it from a computer that boots from USB normally. The old one doesn't even initialize the USB through BIOS (maybe they were added in later... I don't remember if they are an expansion card or not) the kernel does that.. so I cannot boot from USB even with GRUB on that really old computer.
