Can ubuntu v8.10 be installed on any flash drive?

Can anyone confirm that ubuntu v8.10 is compatible with any flash drive/size?

I could install v8.10 on a Corsair Flash Voyager 4 GB and a 8 GB purchased 6-8 months ago. However, I couldn't install the same OS on a recently purchased 4 GB and a 16 GB Flash Voyager GT. Does anyone know why?

I was able to boot liveCD of 8.04 and 8.10 on my USB flash drive Verbatim 16G, purchased end august 2008
