I'm not sure I understand the question. The good and bad logs are both
for the same kernel--they're different attempts to boot the same ISO
using the same USB stick.

This prompted me to go back to try to reproduce the CD-ROM thing. And
yes, I can reproduce a failure that sounds like the one that was
originally reported. If I select the installer (rather than the live
image) when booting from the USB stick, it gets through the 3 i18n
screens (language, location, keyboard layout), pauses, and then brings
up a screen with
-----8<-----8<-----
[!!] Detect and mount CD-ROM
No common CD-ROM drive was detected.
You may need to load additional CD-ROM drivers from removable media,
such as a driver floppy. If you have such media available now, insert it
and continue. Otherwise, you will be given the option to manually
select CD-ROM modules.
Load CD-ROM drivers from removable media?

This may be related to device initialization by the BIOS. I believe
there's a warning about this in the installation guide somewhere. But
even with my BIOS set to "Thorough" initialization, I still can get this
failure. It seems harder to get a successful boot (installer or live
image) if the system has been on recently.
In any case, I suspect that my live image boot failures are due to the
same root cause as the installer failure.

PS. The BIOS setting I'm referring to is POST Behavior/Fastboot. The
choices are Minimal, Auto, and Thorough, with Minimal being the default
IIRC.
