Actual Results: ash Expected Results: Booted environment read to install. Incompatibility between squashfs-4.x filesystem and the 2.6.28 kernel. Need to test the latest version of gentoo-sources (2.6.30-r4 as of posting) and mark it as stable.
It looks like sparc isn't using a >=2.6.29 kernel yet. I'm downgrading squashfs-tools to 3.3 on bender. We'll need to remember to upgrade it to 4.0 again once >=2.6.29 is stable on sparc.
