[gentoo-catalyst] mount image.squashfs fails

[Erick Michau]

Hi all,

I use catalyst-2.0-rc41, a stage3-2006.0 as a seed.

I have got an uncommon type of error whenever I boot from the livecd created.
The livecd stops booting and displays the following error:

>> Mounting squashfs fielsystem
mount: Mounting /newroot/mnt/cdrom/image.squashfs on /newroot/mnt/livecd failed: Invalid argument
>> Copying read-write image contents to tmpfs
cp: etc: No such file or directory
cp: root: No such file or directory
cp: home: No such file or directory
cp: var: No such file or directory
>> No cdupdate.sh script found, skipping...
>> Booting (initramfs) ......
chroot: cannot execute /bin/sh: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

The boot process ends as described.
I understand that the problem is that the squashfs image cannot be mounted therefore the rest cannot be done.
2 days before and using the same config files, it was working fine but as soon as I have upgraded the portage tarball seed (using catalyst -s latest) the problems have started.


Why would the squashfs FS not mount?

Thank you for your time and comprehension
