Hm ... re-reading Mike's mails ...

Mike, is this true ?
Does the live image always succeed and the netinst image always fail ?
Is always the same USB stick affected ? (Or do you have one for each ISO ?)
How do you actually "select" between installer and live ?
Which netinst ISO and which live ISO exactly do you use ?

But in Mike's case the live image is the (more) successful one.
The failure is more brutal than the past installation problems from
live ISOs. Probably the known ones have been solved meanwhile.
The main riddle with Mike's report is why the kernel cannot bring up
the USB stick as storage device although GRUB loaded the kernel from
there.
Have a nice day :)
