Exact same thing happens on my Samsung NC210 netbook, I am not attaching the logs here unless they are specially requested.
Did you use "livecd-iso-to-disk" to create the USB stick? The partition of the USB stick has to be labeled like you specified with CDLABEL=<label>.
I used unetbootin to create the USB stick. Let me try with livecd-iso-to-disk and report back here with the result.
I copied the image on to a spare CDR and then I was able to boot it (using failsafe graphics mode). Verdict: The problem is unetbootin. This did work fine on older versions of Fedora though. It would be *nice* if it continued to work as expected but I suppose it isn't a bug with the fedora project.
