My apologies to Peter - I meant to reply to the list, not just to him. Here's the last message I wrote:

With the following command line, I still got the errors: lh_config -b usb-hdd --bootloader syslinux --union-filesystem aufs --linux-packages 'linux-image-2.6 aufs-modules-2.6 squashfs-modules-2.6' --initramfs live-initramfs --packages-lists kde-desktop --packages "less kile wireshark kismet mplayer perl-doc scm hugs ruby1.8 audacious python2.5 iceweasel texlive-latex-base xdebconfigurator lynx w32codecs openssh-server dnsutils libcurl4-gnutls-dev libglut3-dev rsync ltrace strace" Looking in the config/ directory, it did properly make the necessary configuration changes: $ grep LH_LINUX_PA config/* config/chroot:# $LH_LINUX_PACKAGES: set kernel packages to use config/chroot:LH_LINUX_PACKAGES="linux-image-2.6 aufs-modules-2.6 squashfs-modules-2.6" $ grep LH_UNION config/* config/chroot:# $LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM: set union filesystem config/chroot:LH_UNION_FILESYSTEM="aufs" I'm currently re-running the build process with output sent to a file so I can check for errors during the process. > You can test your newly built image with qemu first. > > qemu -hda binary.img Yes, but in my case it's not much slower to write to flash, and if it works I'm all done instead of having more steps to be finished. Sorry for not searching the lists before posting; this is the primary boot mechanism for my laptop right now and I was in a hurry. Thanks for answering my question despite the answer probably being on the list already.
