[HELP] larch kernel panic

I have made a larch 7.2 iso. I installed into a USB pendrive with unetbootin because when i do the "write the larch medium" with the larch gui I get this:

[[Error in sys.excepthook:]]
[[Traceback (most recent call last):]]
[[  File "/opt/apps/larch/cli/backend.py", line 176, in errortrap]]
[[    errout(_("Something went wrong:\n") + etext, 100)]]
[[  File "/opt/apps/larch/cli/backend.py", line 162, in errout]]
[[    _out('!>' + message, True)]]
[[  File "/opt/apps/larch/cli/backend.py", line 94, in _out]]
[[    if _log:]]
[[NameError: global name '_log' is not defined]]

Then I have copyed the save file into larch/ folder. I have booted with the usb and everythig works great. The problem is that when I shutdown or reboot saving the changes I made, it creates a corrupt overlay.tar.lzo (with 0 bytes). The kernel panic says something like this:

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
...
aufs opt_add:627 :mount[809]: lookup failed /tfs/overlay (-2)
mount: mounting aufs on /union failed : invalid argument
mount: mounting /tfs/overlay on /union/.livesys/overlay failed: no such a file
...
kernel panic

Another thing. The larch program isn't working with the last pyqt package. I had to downgrade to the 4.7.3 version.

Re: [HELP] larch kernel panic

Please try the latest larch, I hope I've fixed the problems you mention, so it should now be possible to use larch to write to the USB stick. Session saving won't work to an iso (even one that's been handled by unetbootin), I'm surprised it even tried to do it - that might be a bug. And please let me know of any further problems.
