just a datapoint: on my Eee 701 persistence boot is fine. sda1 is ext4
and is correctly detected; I'm booting from USB; this is with a recent
broth homebrew but I've not had a problem with earlier ones either.

Status in Puredyne liveCD/DVD/USB/HD: Confirmed

Bug description:
Everything seems to load fine until the live boot fails with an error telling that /dev/sda1 could not be mounted on /mnt/snap-backing.

Interesting facts:
 - The machines on which this happened so far all have ext4 as file system on /dev/sda1
 - This happen no matter if Puredyne is booted from a USB key or a CD/DVD.
 - live-initramfs is 1.157.4-1
 - The ext4 file system is wrongly discovered as ReiserFS
 - if "persistent" is removed from the syslinux BOOT options, then it works (but persistence will not be used obviously)
