I believe I am running into a variant of this same problem.  I installed
7.10 on a USB drive and it works great when using just the live CD mode.
When I use persistence (second partition is ext2) it works great the
first time I boot and then it steadily degrades after that.  In one
case, I had a corrupted /etc/sudoers file and when I looked at this on
another machine the file had the contents of mtab stuffed right into the
middle of it.  In other cases it has blown up the X configuration so
that X cannot start.

No matter how bad the persistent mode boot gets, it wall always boot
fine in "live" mode.

If I do an fsck on the casper-rw drive, I get lots of errors after a
reboot.  If I fix the errors and then delete everything on the casper-
rew drive, it will boot again fine in "persistent" mode though obviously
that's not very persistent.

I've also tried 'sync' before a shutdown of the system but that doesn't
seem to help.  I also tried doing a suspend and unsuspend and that
seemed to work fine with no corruption.
