Hi Marcel, According to my experience, slower usb flash drives work stabler. It may be due to libreboot using a slower but simpler mode to operate USB, and some newer and faster usb drives work poor under this mode, while operating systems can use faster and more complex mode. I have prepared a [1]SanDisk Cruzer Micro 4GB and a [2]ADATA C906 4GB, both of which work very stable, to hold bootable images for my libreboot computers, and ADATA C906 is a bit faster.

Can you try another USB drive? Not all drives work reliably in the
GRUB payload.
