I think there's something else going on, too.  I can't get persistence
to work either, and I've built an initrd with the latest casper in it,
but it still doesn't work.  It never finds the casper-rw or home-rw
devices.  Having set -x in the casper script to get some debugging info,
I see that when it looks for the cow device, scanning things in
/sys/block, that the USB devices aren't there yet, so there seems to be
some sort of race condition where the USB devices haven't been detected
by the time it looks for the home-rw and casper-rw filesystems.

What should I do to fix this?  I've tried putting usb-storage in the
/conf/modules of the initrd to get it to be loaded earlier, but that
hasn't been enough.  I could do something nasty like put a deliberate
sleep in somewhere, but that's just nasty.  Any other ideas?
