I decided that I was going to jump into the whole Homebrew scene and I used this guide.

Everything said it was a success on the install (although BootMii doesn’t work and as far as I can tell it is because my HP 4GB SDHC isn’t compatible because I am getting the blue light flashing on startup).
I am using 4.0U, a Western Digital WDH1U10000N, USB Loader (loaded using the Wad Manager so it comes out as a channel – the lastest version available). The steps I use are listed at the link above.
I formatted my drive and burned some games to the drive using USB Loader GX.
I have burned Dokopan Kingdom, Punch Out, Legend of Zelda, and Mario Galaxy(all from original discs) and I am having a problem I wasn’t able to find really documented on any of the sites.
For Punch Out, Dokopan Kingdom and Legend of Zelda, they will load up from the USB drive. Super Mario Galaxy however doesn’t, it hangs at a black screen forever and I have to do a hard reset on it.
The other thing that is rather odd is that after a restart, I can run Punch Out, Dokopan, and Legend of Zelda… but if I exit a game and go back into the USB Loader without an entire restart of the Wii system, it will fail to load just like Super Mario Galaxy does and I have to do a hard boot.
I tried looking through that huge thread at the top but I’ve only read about the 40 most recent pages (and was skimming at that), has anyone had a problem like this? If so, is there a fix? Should I try a different loader? I have heard that it might have something to do with the USB drive spinning down… but I specifically bought the WDH1U10000N because so many people had good experiences with it.
