Sometimes the liveCD boots without issues, other times I hit this issue, but the important part, I think is that when after the liveCD booted no matter what and gives me a working environment I can insert other USB keys and EVERY time I do so I can see dmesg reporting such drive inserted almost instantaneously BUT if I want to mount it right then I encounter the same issue because it is not assigned a /dev/whatever# at once, I should wait a minute or so until I see dmesg (I mean the messages appearing on ttyv0) show additional parameters and related info for the inserted drive, then, and only then I can start mounting/using the USB key. For the record: this behavior is not observed in arch-linux on the same machine with the same USB keys but I guess this is a completely different story --I comment on this one because at first glance I suspected faulty/shitty firmware.
