I believe the sid version of live-build is indeed the preferred one,
but I've heard that using sid as the target distro for your image
can make things more complicated than they need to be.

Removing any mention of mountkernfs did the trick for me, too.
Thank you very much!

After reading [2], I think I also understand why it was put
in X-Start-Before,
but I still don't understand how this can work: mountkernfs not only
mounts /tmp/, but also /proc/ - and without /proc/cmdline, live-boot
is not going to get very far.

Anyway: I am burning my first new live CD in over two weeks now.
Thank you very much for your help!


Thanks,
