Write 13.2 Gnome Live CD to 2GB USB stick using SUSE Studio Imagewriter.

Reboot to USB stick.  Boot menu appears.  Boot to live system.

I get:

[sde] No Caching mode page found
[sde] Assuming drive cache: write through

Then black screen fading to the green contour lines image.

Then ... no progress ... for a long time (I left it 1/2 hr).

The box is a Dell XPS 420 running 13.1.  Live CD for 13.1 boots happily. 
Latest Knoppix CD boots happily.

The Live USB stick works on a laptop I have, so it's OK.  I've checked md3 &
SHA1 hashes of the downloaded image.

hwinfo & disks config attached.
