Hi Robert

Can you please post your syslinux.cfg, which should be located in the root of your USB flash drive. In addition, you should have initrd.gzand vmlinuzin the root 
of your USB flash drive.

Do you see the splash screen with the "boot:" prompt when you boot your usb stick?
Is the partition, wheresyslinux.cfg,initrd.gz  and vmlinuz are, formatted as FAT16?


Cheers,

	Urs
