@clubber lang - did you try with ONLY one usb stick inserted?
I mean with this to "install" from, not to "install to"
If you can boot it means your PC try to booot from wrong usb slot.
I had such situation when I put additionally my external drive, no boot and blinking cursor on top-left.

Install FROM usb stick onto SSD -> blinking cursor
Install FROM usb stick onto another usb stick -> blinking cursor
Any idea how to resolve this?

Have you tried just booting up your system with the bootable USB stick into "Live" ("Try") mode instead of "Install" mode? Just trying to determine if your USB stick is recognized as a bootable device. Have you also checked your BIOS settings to ensure USB is first boot device?

Yes, the try mode is working perfect.
The SSD was working perfect before (10.**), and because the live (try) worked out of the box I wanted to install it... with no success.
Thanks for your response.
Both usb and ssd are bootable
Just to be clear: The installation goes OK, but when I reboot after the install.. I get the blinking cursor..

Hmm... until you added the clarification that you were able to install successfully but the problem occurred on reboot, I thought maybe there was an issue with the installer program that was preventing you from even installing the program. If it had been an installer issue, I was going to suggest that you boot into the "Try Ubuntu" option, exit XBMC and, on the log-in page, switch to an XBMCbuntu desktop session, and select the installer from the desktop icon. That was the workaround I used on a version of Lubuntu which had an installer problem. However, since you were able to complete the installation, I don't think this procedure is applicable in your case.
