Ok, first you need to understand that the reason it's probing your hard drive is because this image is also intended for installs with the iso on a hard drive. Also, it's hard to tell what is a memory stick and what isn't. On the first pass through a partition, it only looks for the iso in top-level directory of the partiton, and the first level of subdirectories. So it's strange that it takes a noticable time here. Is it possible that the read from disk is hanging? Is there noticible disk activity at all during this 10 minute delay? When it seems to be hung, can you switch to the second virtual console for a shell, and run a command like "echo /hd-media /hd-media/*"? Does this also hang? -- see shy jo
