So, for some reason, on my machine FAT- or NTFS-formatted devices simply do not work. I took a few of the flash drives and formatted them as ext4, no issues (and no resets in the kernel log.) Repartitioned and reformatted as NTFS or FAT, they don't work. Now how weird is that?

Mickaël Bucas Hi Mickael. Thank you for your reply. Knowing this is possible helps. I did some tweaking and still haven't gotten there however. I also may have made things worse. When I first started I installed the xf86-video-ati drivers. At that point if I ran startx with no xorg.conf the radeon card would display, but the nvidia card would not. With the xorg.conf I could get the nvidia card to display, but not the radeon card. Then I installed the ati-driver package and the radeon card stopped working regardless of the xorg.conf existence or not. I removed ati-driver package, but now the radeon card will not fire up at all, again even if there is no xorg.conf. With no xorg.conf I get no screens at all.
