Being able to boot from usb means that the initrd must have the host usb modules on it.
I think debian/*buntu are able to recreate the initrd if they notice the root will be on usb.
Try installing *buntu.
Most RedHat derivatives are so dumb that they can not tell is ruuning from sata/pata/usb/firewire etc.
