Instead it shows again the bootscreen from the USB stick image. An endless loop. I can only solve this by removing the USB stick and use the reset switch. The next boot then correctly boots from the internal disk and the installation continues (first setup things). The problem here is that I have to plug in the USB stick again after the machine booted because the "first setup" things need the repository on the stick to finish. The problem is not related to a specific hardware. I tried on 3 different machines.
