Maybe the method you followed for creating the USB stick was borked 
somehow... I remember (from Debian news) that starting with Squeeze ISO 
images, creation of USB installers is now a easier and can be done 
directly with the ISO file.

Have you tried to create the USB stick in that way? Here it seems to be 
the detailed steps:

If anything fails, you could also try with "Unetbootin" to create the 
stick.
