#61 UNEEK not working for USB drive where sneek-di works fine

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Copy NAND to USB Flash drive
2.  Copy sneek/kernel.bin sneek/font.bin to both SD card and flash drive
3.  Start Wii

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
My flash drive (a sandisk mini cruzer 16GB) has an orange light that flashes with activity on the drive, I see it briefly flashing quickly than going to a slow flash (which it does any time its powered and not active).  No video output makes it to my TV.  The interesting thing is the same flash drive works with sneek-di holding games and any other homebrew use i've put it to (cfg-loader, wiimc, etc.), which would lead me to believe there's some difference between the uneek usb loading and the di loading that makes the difference.  I've used both the sneek installer and compiling my own from source and the problem persists across both.

What revision are you using? With what configuration
(SNEEK/UNEEK/SNEEK+DI)?
UNEEK 106+ (and probably earlier versions)

Interestingly the armboot.bin from 110 gives sneek-di the same behavior, not even creating the diconfig.bin.  Tried with both IOS 70 and 80, same effect

did you try deleting the shared2 folder from your NAND? I can only get it to boot from a fresh Wii setup.

See my issue here, maybe they are the same?

with 110 only sneek-sd works, anything with usb hangs after one blink of the flash drive

I workaround this (even with [r114]) by turning on the wii WITHOUT the SD card.
Wait for the health screen -> put in the SD card and press reset
Now sneeks loads without problems (UNEEK and UNEEK+DI) (WD Essentials 1TB FAT32 32kb)
Otherwise it will flash 3 times (cannot find kernel.bin) and no screen output.
This has to do with slow usb devices like thulinma stated.
Waiting for the health screen, you can hear the drive spinning up.

Brilliant! UNEEK works as well as sneek-di which stopped working for me after [r110].  UNEEK-DI still doesn't work, flash drive blinks for a while and it bombs out, no blinking and no diconfig.bin being written.  Is there a change I can make to the source to add in a delay or something for my flash drive to make life easier?

Added the delays from issue 54 (the two udelays in the original patch there) and that helped, thank you again!
