I am not sure what's with this "SQUASHFS error" problem. Here's my experience with it: I downloaded Ubuntu 17.04 Desktop and installed it. The "SQUASHFS error" appeared on reboot. I (re)downloaded the ISO and verified the hash, reinstalled and rebooted; same problem appeared. I downloaded Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Desktop and installed it. There was no issue with the installation. I rebooted Ubuntu 17.04 and didn't get "SQUASHFS error", they had been fixed by the OS. Installation for both 16.04 and 17.04: a. Same Dell Inspiron 5759 Signature, I7-6500U, 16GB RAM, 2TB Seagate ST2000LM003 [not SSD] b. Running Windows 10 c. Installed as new VMware Workstation Pro 12.5.2 build-4638234 virtual machines, so the virtual disk was raw, initialized and formatted by Ubuntu.
*** I guessed Ubuntu 17.04 would be ok after it fixed those mysterious errors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172937 Title: SQUASHFS error while booting from live cd Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in linux package in Fedora: Won't Fix Status in linux package in Mandriva: Invalid Bug description: Some users have reported being unable to boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD, due to SquasFS errors like this: [ 135.292409] SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block 0x9d7f3 [ 135.292411] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read fragment cache block [275faa28] [ 135.292413] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 275faa28, size 23a7 These errors can be due to a variety of reasons: * bad media (solution: try burning the iso image to a new disc) * a bad dvd drive (solution: if possible, try using a different cd/dvd drive) * bad memory modules (solution: use memtest86+ to check your memory) * a corrupted iso image (solution: run an md5 checksum, and if they don't match, download the iso image again) * an optical drive connected via SATA instead of PATA and running in Enhanced mode (solution: change the IDE configuration to "compatible" in the BIOS) This is all described in more detail here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquashfsErrors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/172937/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
