I have been having similar problems to those described by other users on one particular computer. It has a giga-byte 7KMP motherboard, 512Mb ram and an athlon XP2200 cpu, two pata hard drives.
I have installed 7.10 successfully on the box and it run well, however when I tried to upgrade to 8.04 i ended up with this issue. I have also downloaded and burned 8.04 and 8.10 to cd. When using these as live CD's I get hundreds of squashfs errors reported during the boot up process and the system never fully boots. The same cd's work fine on other computers that I have and install successfully, so the cd's appear to be OK. Indeed, I have tried other live cd's on the athlon system, mandriva, fedora, suse, sabayon, and all boot successfully. This leads me to believe that something is broken in ubuntu when using it on athlon xp systems. -- Unhelpful SQUASHFS error messages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
