It's something with that particular, older hardware, not the iso file.
An old memory resurfaced: I dimly recalled having problems with using USB
storage devices on the two USB 3.0 ports on that laptop. This was back in
the days with iffy hardware support on Linux, so it was second nature for me
to try the third, USB 2.0 port on back of the laptop, and they worked.
So I tried the Live CD on the USB 2.0 port, and it booted.
So, it's ten years later and Linux still has occasional hardware issues, it
seems…
Until the graphics card died a year ago, I was using a 2007 desktop. There
were a couple times when newer kernels had simple mistakes that broke
modules supporting old hardware. Others had already filed bug reports by
the time I encountered issues, and fixes were not long in appearing.
I recall seeing reports of bugs in early USB3 hardware. Over the years, linux
has had workarounds for hardware idiosyncrasies. I think some of those workarounds
are being dropped or lost as support for newer hardware is added with new and improved
code.
You should not be surprised by issues with recent kernels and hardware over a decade
old.
