That's odd.  I put in arch support a while ago, but maybe I used the API 
incorrectly and a bugfix in sorcery enforced the API.  Somebody who 
knows the persistence API better than I do, please take a look.  The 
"end of prepare" kernel_arch line looks odd as well, so maybe it really 
wasn't my fault and this is a bug in sorcery.
