There's an error reading from the device -- were there any read errors from the
kernel in /var/log/messages?

I've tried another installation and - indeed - there are lots of squashfs 
errors. So I've compared the md5sum of squashfs.img from the iso and the flash 
drive - it differs. I've copied squashfs.img several times to the drive 
without luck. So I assume my flash drive is broken and I close this as 
NOTABUG. 

Thanks.
