I can navigate the initial menus of the installer but when I try to go
further the system errors out into single user mode. No real filesystems are
mounted, the only thing there is the initramfs. I have an error saying that
no mountable filesystem could be found. There is no /dev/sdb file that should
correspond to my USB stick. In the dmesg there is the following suspicious
text.

I know someone has been unable to boot Linux using a CD drive but setting
that up would be annoying for me. I'll probably have to do that though. The
