Ok, My old USB drive boots into DSL without a problem. I just got a new 1GB stick (not huge but its nice for me). followed the same procedure. Can boot from it, but DSL fails to find the USB (I think), then tries to locate the files from the CD-ROM drive instead.

Boot with "dsl waitusb"? Some sticks are slower than others, your old one might be fast enough while the new isn't.
