Hi Andreas, It seems that nobody commented on this so far. Do you maybe have some new results yourself?

Could you maybe try the experimental packages? These have a somewhat different
GRUB_PC script; the one in 3.3.2 is AFAIK tied to hd0 instead of writing to a
specific device, so I'd suspect some brokenness.

Myself I don't have a Karmic system available, but if you do have one at hand:
cd /usr/share/initramfs-tools
grep -r hostname *
could turn up some interesting information. In Debian sid things still look
pretty fine with results like
scripts/live: HOSTNAME="${ARGUMENT#hostname=}"
But of course the code in initramfs-tools could also be broken.

Best,
