I would like to comment on what Bob Lewis wrote on 2008-12-07 in LP #277903 about different types/sizes of USB storage devices (and file it here as it is a duplicate bug):
Note that certain types of bios have an additional feature to be able to choose between seeing USB Mass Storage Devices as fixed or removable drives, or auto detected. In our case the automatic detection was keeping the computer from being able to boot from at least certain types of USB sticks (showing a black screen with only "Boot Error" on it). Changing the bios configuration to "consider any USB drive to be a fixed drive" allowed us to successfully boot.
