KX Light AF Installation Boot Problem (USB)

Hi, apologies for my first post on the forum being a problem and its probably a bit of a n00bish question but it is absolutely doing my head in! :/

I have got Amiga Forever 2012 and i have attempted to install the kxlight environment to my 4GB USB Kingston pen drive. After much perseverance with cfdisk throwing partition and cycle errors at me, i managed to get the files to successfully install. Once i had installed i then rebooted my netbook to run from the USB drive. At first it seems to attempt to boot, shows the amiga forever grey splash/loading screen but then does nothing apart from show this screen and i also noticed that the caps lock light is flashing on and off. I also tried to boot the usb drive on another laptop to exactly the same result .

Any help would with this would be greatly appreciated as im to the end of my tether with it.

Thanks in anticipation!

Generally the flashing keyboard LEDs mean linux kernel crash. Assuming this is the problem there's no real fix other than getting your hands dirty (making AF/KX Light more or less redundant in the process).
Only thing I can think to suggest other than replacing linux kernel/distro is to disable anything unused in your bios, and perhaps changing sata to ide compatible mode.
No guarantee this will work, but often a linux kernel crash is caused by unsupported h/w issues.

p.s. Im not %100 sure this is the problem, but going by the info you provided it does sond as though it may be.

I was thinking 'unsupported hardware' as soon as I read the OP but, lacking experience with KX light on latterday hardware, I was not able to reply as eloquently as fishyfish.

I'm now almost certain that's the problem.
