I've been running into some odd behaviour with GRUB and a lot of newer 
(read: cheaper) USB sticks on HP servers. For some reason GRUB can only 
access some tiny portion of the device (e.g. first 100 MB out of 2000).

That alone probably wouldn't have stopped me (SanDisk Cruzers always 
work :) but it's not really possible to build GRUB for x86_64, and GRUB2 
will only build with a fight.

extlinux definitely lacks all the command-line troubleshooting features 
that make me like GRUB... but so far it hasn't needed any 
troubleshooting, it just works :)
