The latest live USB
(pS-Performance_Toolkit-3.3.2-10-LiveUSB-x86_64.iso) caused a panic
when I trial booted it on my Thinkpad T430. Here is the last screen
full of messages:

=== Begin ===
dracut: 3 logical volumes(3) in volume group "xxxx" now active

dracut Warning: Boot has failed. To debug this issue add "rdshell" to

The live CD version boots fine. Unfortunately, the server I am
deploying does not have a CD drive. I am counting on being able to
boot from the USB key.
