[Caroline Meeks]

Luke and Sasha are working on a new USB format that they feel will allow
more machines to boot and support VM + Stick

Perhaps the issue you are running into (which we have definitely seen
before) is related to some of the ones they are looking at and part of why
they need two boot partitions that are slightly different.
