Patchstick won't boot on AppleTV

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Creating the patchstick with atvusb-creator-1.0.b13 applying the
2Z694-6013-013.dmg firmware (Both 2Gb Starline, and 16GB Kingston formatted
properly) All done successfull, no errors
2. Booting the ATV (uplugging power with patchstick inserted)
3. Apple logo shows 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to the famous Linux penguin, dissappointed by the apple logo every
time:)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
atvusb-creator-1.0.b13, I'm running OSX 10.6.2

Please provide any additional information below.

Let me also add that we discussed in the boxee forums that it's believed to be 
a Snow
Leopard-only issue...

sometime you need to force a recovery boot using the IR remote to get the 
appletv to check for a USB device. 
did you try this ?

I tried booting now by pressing menu - but it still does not show the Penguin. 
It
looks to me as if it doesnt check for a usb device... wierd

no, nothing wrong with your appletv, something is not correct with the 
patchstick, either in creation or the USB 
drive itself. Just for grins, can you try the previous verison (b12) ? you 
don't have to re-download the dmg, if you 
move boot.efi to the staging dir, it will skip the dmg download.

"if you move boot.efi to the staging dir, it will skip the dmg download." this 
part
was a bit over my head:) Do you mean create the patchstick with version b12 
using the
same 2Z694-6013-013.dmg-file?

Same issue - I've tried the new version (b13) and the previous version (b12). I 
created the patchstick on Mac OS 
10.5.8 on a Powerbook. AppleTV version 3.0.2

At this point, I think I may try a different USB drive.

I found a thread discussing drives that worked/didn't. Kingston drives were 
mentioned several times as bad;
