Yeah it doesn't check. I'm not sure how to go about checking them
right off either
or how to make it better, but I would need more time to look at it.

Of course this is why we're doing testing so I'll keep it in mind that
this is an issue.
If you have any ideas let me know.

Ok can you test it on real hardware with a real USB stick too?
I did testing in Qemu and it doesn't fail.
I also did testing on real hardware and it also does not fail on
either x86 32 or x86 64.
