That's what I can find inside live.log:

| debug: Can not mount backdev /dev/loop0 (image = /live/image/live/grml-medium.squashfs) on croot/imagename //grml-medium.squashfs
| Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] [-n] device directory

Debugging inside busybox (version 1:1.9.2-3, klibc-utils 1.5.7-4):

# md5sum /bin/mount
7b979b1804e776462f21b1ed43bf08b3  /bin/mount
# mkdir /mnt
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] [-n] device directory
# mv /bin/mount /bin/mount.unused
# ln -s /bin/busybox /bin/mount
# mount /dev/loop0 /mnt
# ls /mnt
bin etc [...]

So the mount binary of busybox works whereas the one from
klibc-utils seems to fail. As a reference (executing inside the
chroot where I'm building the initramfs):

# md5sum /usr/lib/klibc/bin/mount
7b979b1804e776462f21b1ed43bf08b3  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/mount

Tested also with klibc-utils 1.5.9-2 (same problem):

# md5sum /usr/lib/klibc/bin/mount
c1c83fc15996474a5621d47c68a1f28e  /usr/lib/klibc/bin/mount

Please let me know if you need any further information.

thx && regards,
