The bad log has [ 7.015708] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas [ 25.552030] random: crng init done In the good log, there are several other messages in between: May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 7.530496] usbcore: registered new interface driver uas May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.552616] scsi 2:0:0:0: Direct-Access General UDisk 5.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2 May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.555906] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] 15728640 512-byte logical blocks: (8.05 GB/7.50 GiB) May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.559691] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.562143] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08 May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.562329] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] No Caching mode page found May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.564222] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.616686] sdb: sdb1 sdb2 May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.618956] sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.842431] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.854480] loop: module loaded May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 8.904560] squashfs: version 4.0 (2009/01/31) Phillip Lougher May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 9.769518] ip_tables: (C) 2000-2006 Netfilter Core Team May 13 00:47:48 localhost kernel: [ 10.083646] random: crng init done The other thing I noticed when comparing the logs is that the initial USB-related messages are different, like the devices are being recognized in a different order.

I'm afraid I didn't record the exact messages that I got during my original attempts to install. With the live image failures that I'm getting now, the console messages are [ 30.010394] usb 1-1.2: reset high-speed USB device number 3 using ehci-pci BusyBox v1.22.1 (Debian 1:1.22.0-19+b3) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
