Bug#658993: live-initramfs find_cow_device fails due to busybox -- w error



Package: live-initramfs
Version: 1.157.4+20091126.085142ubuntu3

When booting with 'persistent' cheatcode and providing a live-rw ext3 filesystem data file, the scripts/live-helpers script complains about :

grep: invalid option -- 'w'
BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu7) multi-call binary
and shows available grep commands where no -w option is available

although unpacking initrd.img and running grep (bysybox) shows the -w parameter available

attached:
live-boot.log  obtained with the 'debug' cheatcode
init.bin.grep.stdout output of grep extracted from initrd.img

I had a similar problem with slax/liblinuxlive http://www.linux-live.org) and solved it by substituting busybox with a script having  anLD_PRELOAD (and LD_LIBRARY_PATH?) pointing  to the libs in initrd/lib .

I think the problem is in loading wrong libs ain initramfs
