What does a verbose boot on your XO say (Keep the 'v' game key pressed
when powering
the XO on until asked to release the game keys) ?
Open Firmware should report finding your developer key before even
trying to load the ramdisk
and booting linux.
Also make sure your stick has not been booted on an other computer
before booting on the XO
(i.e. first boot after creating the stick with liveusb-creator on the XO).
Alernatively you have to delete (as root) /.liveusb-configured and
/.liveusb-late-configured before
shutting down and then boot on your XO.
Right now I can only say, it works for me ...
