I use the same method, since I have an X61 Tablet. Every now and then the daily images break because some packages are not synchronized properly. This may have happend in your case. Often the next day's image will be okay again. You may try the alpha-2 image, since that should have been tested for boot problems etc.
PS: My ubuntu-testing USB stick is only 1 GB, so I usually turn off the persistent file system feature. It is possible that this could make a difference. -- [i945gm] Unexpected X-server restarts on system with Intel 945GM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/384937 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
