The ppc32 boot fails to mount the file image.squashfs on /newroot/mnt/livecd and drops into the shell. If I try to mount the file manually using: mount /newroot/mnt/cdrom/image.squashfs /newroot/mnt/livecd -o loop I get the messages mount: /dev/loop0 is write protected, mounting read-only (repeated 9 times) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /newroot/mnt/livecd/ failed: Invalid argument squashfs is in /proc/filesystems and /dev/loop0 - /dev/loop7 are present with brw-rw---- permissions. Reproducible: Always I'm using a powerbook G4 with 768MB ram. I've tried two DVD's 20090614 and 20090621 with the same results. I tried copying image.squashfs to /dev/null to test for media errors which worked fine.

I've just noticed that ppc32 is the only platform that doesn't have sqashfs-tools-4.0 marked as stable. Could that be the problem?
Same issue on powermac G4 MDD. Also, cannot boot universal from 2008.0
The PPC autobuild needs to be re-run again. We marked squashfs-4.0 stable after the last build was done. It also breaks ppc64, so adding them to the list.
@David: Universal 2008.0 boots fine on my G5 and my PB, can you explain what issue you have with it in a bit more detail?

I notice you've marked Squashfs 4.0 as stable. Can you say when it will work through into the build so that we can test it?
It's not just a matter of it being stable. It also needs to be upgraded on the box used to run the autobuild. The person who manages the ppc autobuilds is busy with real life atm, so we're trying to track down someone who knows which box it is so we can upgrade it.
No rush. If you can post a comment when it's done I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
ok I have upgraded the box where this stuff is built.

Does this still happen?
