Description Nik Nyby 2009-10-01 03:35:23 UTC

The sparc64 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 7 times)
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /newroot/mnt/livecd/ failed: Invalid argument

This is similar to the bug on the ppc32 liveCD here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275271


I'm using a Sun Ultra II workstation.

I just upgraded squashfs-tools to 4.0 on bender. This will be fixed in next week's autobuild.
