The oddest thing is happening while trying to run make-live 0.99.25: It downloads stuff for a while and then, when trying to install the kernel & drivers, it throws the following error:
> Selecting previously deselected package linux-image-2.6.18-4-486.
> Unpacking linux-image-2.6.18-4-486 (from
> .../linux-image-2.6.18-4-486_2.6.18.dfsg.1-11_i386.deb) ...
> Ok, Aborting

> (--unpack):

Of course, everything goes downhill from there, being that things are
just not the same without a kernel.
I can chroot into the partial system and install linux-image-2.6.18-4-486
by hand. At some point it notifies me that I am 'attempting to install
an initrd kernel image', notifies me of some potential pitfalls and
asks whether I want to abort - which is probably the root of all evil
(or at least the cause of the errors that I'm seeing).
FWIW, the message (and the interruption of the build process that
comes with it) can be suppressed by adding the line
echo "do_initrd = Yes" >> "${LIVE_CHROOT}"/etc/kernel-img.conf
to 13chroot.sh before the kernel is installed. After that, make-live
produces a working ISO again.
If anybody is interested (and/or experiencing the same issues): I've
attached the patch that made it work for me. It seems like it should
do no harm, either way.
