I've looked this patch and I've found a minor problem with the
identation of lh_chroot_hacks file. It add lines with empty space on
it... please remove this empty space as done on all other new lines.
Example:
+ # Config files which need to be RW
+ CONFIG_FILES='/etc/hostname /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf /etc/fstab
+ /etc/live.conf /etc/network/interfaces /etc/X11/xorg.conf
+ /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
+ /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-cd.rules'
+
^^^^^^^^ useless space
+ # Where we will store RW config files
+ RW_DIR='/var/lib/live'
I've not looked your initramfs branch but would be nice to check if
this wasn't done there too.
