Ah, this *could* be the problem. In 2.2.2g we fixed a bug with large
USB disks not mounting. I have not really any idea what "large" covers
- my 1 GB were fine with 2.2.2f, someone reported that a 4 GB failed.
A 2 GB might be a problem too - I don't know.

I suggest you try to use TSoM with 2.2.2g still using your 2.2.2f
(they are fairly compatible) config files. At least it will rules out
this suspicion.

First go LiveCD.desktop.build and later LiveCD.desktop.buildtime. Also make sure you have set the correct TS version in the beginning (2.2.2f).
