http://askubuntu.com – I've seen similar problems to this several times in the forum, but mine is a bit different, so the other posts I saw were no help to me. When I boot Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit from live-SD-card (3GB persistence) I suddenly get this error: (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Invalid argument Can not mount /dev/loop/0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs (it says I can type "help" for commands, but I don't know anything about how to go from there, totally new to Linux) The reason I say my case is different is because my Ubuntu worked f (HowTos)

I downloaded 12.04.1 and md5 sum checked them and everything is good.

Howdy.

I'm attempting to install Kubuntu 11.10 on a system, but can't get past a specific error screen no matter what I do.

Please help ASAP

As I was unable to find much documentation on doing this from a different partition I decided to try creating a chroot environment with a BT5r2 iso file.

I found some documentation on how to do this with BT4 at this link:

http://www.offensive-security.com/ba...-prefinal-iso/

I followed these directions perfectly down this far:

Code: mkdir -p /root/BUILD mv bt4.iso /root/BUILD cd

Is it possible to use a SquashFS filesystem as an LXC rootfs? I can mount an ext3 image as a rootfs just by setting lxc.rootfs to the filename, but if it's any other type of image, lxc-start just says that it can't mount an ext3 filesystem.

I am using Ubuntu provided EC2 AMI for Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS 64-bit and it doesn't come with support for SquashFS built in.

Is there a way to add support, so I can mount a SquashFS filesystem?

SQUASHFS 3 vs 4 24 weeks 4 days ago

I'm trying to modify a firmware file by unsquashing it, editing my files and squash it again. But I got problems with the device which does not accept the file because of different squashfs types (as I suppose).

I know you can boot the livecd with other methods. I was wondering if you can put the filesystem.squashfs inside the initrd.gz and somehow make it find the squashfs.

Parted Magic PXE does it this way and I would like Ubuntu livecd to do the same thing. Parted Magic does it by putting the squashfs in the / of the initrd.
