It does depend on bug on certains bios.
I would guess you have an Award bios, that may not like partionned usb key.
Upgrading the bios may help.
This make a difference to me booting from an Asus A7V8X-X motherboard.
Previous to the bios upgrade, only unpartionned and zip-like partition were
working
