Public bug reported: Binary package hint: usb-creator
LiveUSB stick created using this program failed to boot. The size of my usb stick is 2GB. The version of usb-creator I have is 0.1.16 (according to synaptic) 1. I created a persistence-enabled 128MB (default value) drive with xubuntu 9.10 desktop i386 iso image. The stick booted fine and the OS was running ok. 2. I created a persistence-enabled 1.2GB (max value by pulling the slider all the way up). The stick fails to boot by giving the message: 'Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow' I have re-verified the checksums of the iso that I was trying to use and they are fine. I re-tried this particular step thrice and I got the logs during that third attempt. Using the instructions at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper , I got the following in casper.log: -- Begin: Running /scripts/casper-premount ... Done.
