I've been running into some odd behaviour with GRUB and a lot of newer=20
(read: cheaper) USB sticks on HP servers. For some reason GRUB can only=20
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=20
work :) but it's not really possible to build GRUB for x86_64, and GRUB2=20
will only build with a fight.

extlinux definitely lacks all the command-line troubleshooting features=20
that make me like GRUB... but so far it hasn't needed any=20
troubleshooting, it just works :)
