If you get a kernel panic, I'm saying it might be a unionfs (?)
problem with 2.6.2[12] so use 2.6.18 (with sid) or even aufs which
hasn't given me this problem. That means setting
LIVE_LINUX_PACKAGES=none and including the kernel and
{squash,union/au}fs modules.
As discussed, the LINUX_FLAVOUR has to match the filename of the
kernel otherwise you get the vmlinuz-* message.
