USB booting :: installed to usb stick, error on booting

not sure, I don't think it's the geometry... syslinux isn't finding the kernel image (linux24)...  so it doesn't even get as far as loading anything...

I notice it failed the partitioning....

and try installing with the USB-ZIP option.... I think it might be something to do with the stick being 2GB and the limit for size of fat16 partitions... that's my guess anyway...

the USB-ZIP option works by creating a 50MB partition for DSL and a big partition for the rest of the stick... so that would solve that problem...

to be honest I don't have much more of a clue than that... I've just won the war with a 64MB memory stick, and it worked very nicely too

well, i fixed the geometry on the pendrive. but guess what? i'm not sure if that's the issue either cuz when i tried installing the os to the pendrive once again using the usbhdd tool, the whole thing is repartitioned, and somehow the geometry is reset.
haven't tried usb-zip cuz when i ask to see the drive's info during the install tool process having selected usb zip, nothing is shown. can't really trust that.
fat16 has a maximun volume size of 2GB which should suit me just fine i think.
according to what i read on the wiki, it must be the geometry. checking the drive's info i see it's using 62 sectors/track (maximum for a boot partition should be 32). like i said, once i try installing the os to it, its reset to what it was originally.

well i guess i'll go ahead and fix the geometry again and do a manual install. there's  some instructions on how to do it at the Debian wiki.
i'll give it a shot later.
