Yes the switch_root/pivot_root issue is my mistake at trying to remember my script without opening up the initrd... If you want to know the script that fails with the new version of aufs, look no further than http://www.linux-live.org. The commands my script uses is an exact copy of the init script used in Tomas M's linuxlive scripts, with the slight exception that he uses initrd instead of initramfs. Nevertheless, if there was not any syntax changes, there should be no reason why this newest version of aufs should fail after it has been working for so long...
