also, here toram is the real culprit. isofrom works fine on today's image.

with ignore_bootid:
 * Searching for GRML file, this might take a few seconds...
 * Mounted live system from /dev/loop0
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.
/init: line 229: 6: Bad file descriptor

here you are

The problem might be the following function in scripts/live-helpers:

sys2dev ()
{
        sysdev=${1#/sys}
        echo "/dev/$($udevinfo -q name -p ${sysdev} 2>/dev/null|| echo 
${sysdev##*/})"
}

Could you please provide the live.log of the system booted with verbose=1?

Hi,

grml 2009.10 doesn't find the iso if it's on /dev/cciss/c0d0p1, which is the
first parition on the logical drive /dev/cciss/c0d0. If started with debug,
/live.log contains many references to /dev/cciss/c0d0, but none to
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1.

grml is started with findiso=/boot/grml/grml.iso.

Greetings
Marc
