Subject:   USB Flash Memory stick not bootable

Have problem with being able to boot off an new 8GB USB Flash Memory 
stick. When I load the 8.0 disc1.iso to an 2GB USB Flash Memory stick it 
will boot fine. But when I do the same thing to the new 8GB USB Flash 
Memory stick it’s not recognized as bootable. I can access the installed 
partitions manually by mounting then on the 7.2 system. So I know the 
8GB stick has been loaded correctly. I am doing this on a 7.2 release.

Below are the console messages that get displayed when I plug in each of 
the USB Flash Memory stick. You can see a great difference between the 
first set of messages for the 8GB stick versus the 2GB stick that 
follows. I want to boot off the 8GB stick just like I do with the 2GB 
stick.

What is going on here? They should be handled the same way.
