I have the same problem as Steve. If I remove "persistent" from the kernel string, it works OK. (but no persistence of course). With persistence, symptoms identical. It seems to timeout after mounting squashfs. If you wait for USB data reads to stop, then exit shell, it mounts further disks, and after 4th exit it continues on to full desktop. (but no persistent storage) I have tried the usb-creator with 4GB memory stick and 80GB 2.5" usb (laptop) disk. Identical in both situations.
Using usb-creator without persistent storage boots/works as advertised.
