I ever met similar USB stick issue as you. The strange thing is When I use a Kingston USB stick, it can't create corresponding device file under /dev, so the persistent error popup every a few seconds because install USB device can't find. When I use a SanDisk USB stick, it works. Per my check, the right device file is generated. I guess it is the limitation of initrd image.

I done the chages described below, and really worked to boot the virtual machine (QEMU). But when I "Write USB image" in my Pendrive, and boot it on another netbook the error persists. Any idea ...
