I've had this happen with a rather old USB stick (back from the days
when 8GB was considered "huge", these days it's my boot stick...)
Letting the machine with the stick inserted sit a little on the
boot prompt did the trick for me. A newer stick "just worked fine",
so I wrote that off as "aging flash".
