Hm... not the error I was expecting. I'll need more information to help solve the problem. If you get a chance to test the machine again, and can be on IRC, I'd be happy to try and meet with you and walk through the problem.
The usb stuff made me wonder if you have any devices attached at boot? I don't think that would cause a problem but occasionally it might. I don't know exactly where in the boot process usb detection comes in but it seems to me like you're almost there. The Debian Live screen is a little confusing to me, as Puredyne is based on ubuntu.... perhaps everything is booting but your X windows aren't able to start up? What happens if you try entering commands in the console? Is it a running system or is it some kind of recovery console? Have you tried `startx`? I assume the CD/DVD will boot on other systems? Sorry for asking so many obvious questions, it just seems to be the only way to troubleshoot sometimes. Anyways, I hope we can figure it out.
