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. Brand new 8GB Kingston DataTraveler 120 purchased 7/16/09 umass0: on uhub1 (probe0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): TEST UNIT READY.
