Title:
  Endless loop while booting from USB-stick

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD
  IBM-ThinkPad R52

  I have installed Ubuntu 10.10 from LiveCD on a 16GB USB-Stick using the Startup Disk Creator.
  After booting from it, I saw the progress dots running on the start screen running for ever (30 minutes until I switched off my Laptop). The whole time the in-use LED of the built-in Harddrive was on.
  What is Ubuntu doing so long on the Harddisk?

  I could manage to install by help of UNetbootin tool, but this doesn't fulfil my needs, see:
