it looks like that the installer is waiting for the second partition on the usb drive. You can check the paritions via looks into: /dev/block/ try to list the nodes under that directory. if you have the installer.img dd-ed on your usb drive, it should have 2 paritions. Don't know the detail of your hard drive, if it has different number of paritiions, it should be easy to find out. Otherwise, maybe you can try to see the kernel log via: dmesg -- Chen
