Description Richard Scott 2009-08-13 10:28:50 UTC

Hi,

I have a script that I use to build a custom LiveCD that has been working since 2008. Now and then an issue crops up.

I am currently getting this error:

>> Mounting squashfs filesystem
mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /newroot/mnt/livecd failed: Invalid argument
!! Failed to $1; failing back to shell...


BusyBox v1.7.4 (2009-08-12 17:29:57 BST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of build-in commands.

/bin/ash: can't access tty; job control turned off
#

The last known good build that I had was around the 5th Aug, and now nothing I can do will help.

I have tried:

kernel versions >=2.6.29 with squashfs-tools-4.0
kernel version < 2.6.29 with squashfs-tools.3.x 

Nothing I can do will resolve this problem.

Does anyone have any clues as to what I can do?

Apparently its been fixed for the 'autobuild' process, perhaps someone from there can offer some advice?

Thanks,

Richard.
