Greetings,
I made some minor changes to my system, remastered and then tried booting from it. During the boot process I get an error that the loopfs can't be mounted and am dropped to a limited shell. I then tried to do the mounting of loopfs manually using the commands that the error message gave (mount -r -t squashfs ...) and got this error: ...unknown inode type 10 in squashfs_iget.
My previous remaster worked fine and I really haven't made any major changes to it. I have had this issue before and really wonder where it comes from and what can be done.

Volledige versie: Boot problems - mounting loopfs
* the livecd.sqfs file is corrupted (something went wrong in the build process)
* bad CD burn --> livecd.sqfs is corrupted
burn at a lower speed and with a CD-RW
Test running the iso file within virtualbox
* you use a different kernel - the squashfs kernel module and the squashfs-tools don't like each other
* the minor changes are not minor.

HI Chris,
I didn't remaster via a CD (just copied livecd.sqfs to the USB drive), and the changes were email settings in Thunderbird. Is there any way to verify whether the building process went wrong?

Adrian,
something is wrong with the livecd.sqfs. I don't know of a way to verify it.
If you didn't remaster it, why do you copy a new livecd.sqfs?
It coould be everything. The file is corrupted, the copying was not good. When you copy big files to a flash drive, you need to be carefully - sometimes it is not synced.
You can compare the filesize of the orginal livecd.sqfs and the one on the flash drive.
But I still don't understand why you would copy it, if you didn't make a remaster.
And how do you think a changed thunderbird would stick without a remaster? I don't get it.

Hi Chris,
I meant that after remastering I didn't burn the new ISO to a CD but mounted it and just copied the (new) livecd.sqfs file to the USB drive. This procedure had been described somewhere on this forum. Yes, I thought about the file sizes too, but they are the same. And I tried two different sticks and got the same problem.
My friend had a similar problem, in his case the livecd.sqfs mounted ok, but then just before he got to the KDE logon screen he was dropped back to a shell with a black screen. We have been having these rather strange issues and are somewhat puzzled about them.
I wonder if one could mount the livecd.sqfs and run a ls -R to see which files are on it and that way see if something went wrong.

Sure you can work with the livecd.sqfs 
Just copy it somewhere to an partition, and create a mountpoint and mount it:
The content is now accessable in /mnt/test
