Hi all,
I am working from grml32_testing-20120106 as issue 1126 is fixed there.

Background steps on 32 bit box:

1 create vfat usb stick mkdiskimage -4 /dev/fd0 0 64 32.
2 add dos label with dosfslabel.
3 reboot grml , usb shows in blkid and /mnt/live-rw. 
4 copy /live/live-snapshot... to /mnt/live-rw per on screen instructions
   from live-snapshot.
5 unmounted /mnt/live-rw and rebooted selection persistent from grml
   menu.
6 cpio.gz has size but everything in /root and /home/grml either was not
   uncompressed or was overlaid later in boot sequence.
7 added test files to /root and /home/grml, re-did snapshot and 4-6 above.
8 added file live.persistent to /mnt/live-rw and re-did 4-6 above.
9 rebooted and selected debug from grml menu. did tab and added persistent
   to cmdline. kernel panic in live-bottom and machine locked up. reset
   box.

On win 7 box with current virtualBox:

1 took usb and, created virtual machine similar to 32 bit box, recreated
    problem to gather attached files.
2 on this box also attempted by adding "debug=1 log" to persistent menu
   line so am confident it is not typing error.

Thanks,
Charles
