Marking as invalid on casper's side, this has indeed to do with the tool

which it clearly didn't.

This may have something to do with the tool used to create the usb disk.

To me this looks like the get_fstype function in
scripts/caspter_helpers just needs some error handling.
Even if it worked for you Roeland this time around, it seems to me that
script should be fixed.

Installing from USB disk fails: Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow
I downloaded the 10.4 release and used usb-creator-gtk (under ubuntu
9.10) to create a bootable USB disk. This one booted without problems. I
used another device, so I am not sure if the USB stick was faulty, but I
had successfully used it to install on another computer before.

One of the smoking guns here is:

+ get_fstype /dev/loop1
+ local FSTYPE
+ local FSSIZE
+ fstype
+ eval FSTYPE=unknown FSSIZE=0
+ FSTYPE=unknown FSSIZE=0
+ [ unknown != unknown ]
+ /sbin/blkid -s TYPE -o value /dev/loop1
+ cow_fstype=
