Unable to boot LiveCD from USB on Netbook

I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook.

Everytime I try to “burn” the live 11.2 GNOME CD to an USB drive (1GB) it fails on boot. I’ve tried unetbootin, the application from pendrivelinux.com as well.

When it boots, it usually can’t find the image. So I have to type in the name of the image by hand then press enter. I actually type the below in:

boot: openSUSE_Linux_(GNOME)

So it starts loading the image in text mode. I don’t mind this, except it stops when it tries probing for the CD/DVD ROM.

rebootException failed to detect CD/DVD or USB drive

It just stops pass there. I’ve tried to add in the options acpi=off, but do i add it in before or after I enter in the image name?

Any ideas why this happens? Any way how I can i fix. Let me know If you need more information.

BTW, it doesn’t boot in my laptop either.

Thanks in advanced:)

Actually, running this command works good

dd if=/path/to/iso/openSUSE-11.2-KDE4-LiveCD-i686.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M;sync

Where sdx is the name of the USB partition name

Live USB stick - openSUSE
