You can check if the stick is actually bootable by using qemu.

# mount
to see where the USB stick mounted, then

# umount /dev/sdf1
to unmount it (assuming it was mounted in /dev/sdf), then

# qemu -hda /dev/sdf -m 256 -vga std
again, match the /dev/sd? part.

If it simulates booting like that but won't work when you restart the
computer, then it's likely a hardware configuration/recognition
problem.
