Subject: [gentoo-catalyst] mount image.squashfs fails
To: [email protected]
Hi again,
I guess it is more a personal system issue and has nothing to do with the new snapshot. I have tried with different config files and I get the same results as I know they work fine.
I guess too that it has something to do with the parameters passed to "mount" when the livecd tries to mount the squashfs image and breaks the chaining of the boot processes.
Still under investigation (and testing on another pc as well with the same config files).
Thanks for reading.

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
