Seems it has problems with the usb port... Can you try the other ports to see if it helps...

Strange, it does not boot on any USB 2, but it boots on USB 3.
Once booted it can normally read data from USB 2 ...

What i don't understand ist that first it shows the boot menu, then it loads the kernel, but when init should start it can not find the partition.

This bug is still valid in Alpha3.
It boots only from USB3 but not from USB2 even if i copied (dd) the iso with the USB stick on USB2 ... USB2 normally works and it booted also normally with alpha1.

Well, in Beta1 it does not even boot from USB3.
After "Loading Kernel" message i get a black monitor with no message and the NumLock LED is on. I need to reset to reboot again.

Still valdid in Mageia 4 beta 2, but in beta 2 it boots again from USB3
