I could be wrong, but I think I have read that using the sid/unstable
packages is the recommended way -- something to do with the snapshots
not being updated any more.

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.

If there is a trick, I am missing it too :/

Anyhow, as a workaround, I am currently removing the mountkernfs
reference altogether. Again, this is just a workaround while I wait
for someone with more knowledge on the subject to issue a fix. If you
are interested, there is a previous discussion on the subject[2].

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,
