shouldn't make any difference here, but in future, could you use the
most current one from sid (preferably) or at least the one from lenny.
makes things a bit easier for us.

would you mind sharing that in the form of a patch? i'd be interested to
play with AOE myself at a later point.

dhcp is default for live-initramfs anyway, so ip=dhcp isn't required,
but shouldn't matter here.

looks like a check doesn't cover AOE specific device names/patches and
thus fails, and therefore very easy to fix. can i please see the
*complete* live.log from debug mode?
