16 I wouldn't view it as noise. If someone else posts later about a
17 problem like this, someone here will likely remember this and be able to
18 share what you discovered. So, while it wasn't what you expected it to
19 be, that doesn't mean others won't learn a little something from it.

21 For me, I find it odd that a broken USB stick would cause that. I would
22 have expected it to not boot at all or something. Weird.
