Thanks for your quick response. The error message is "ioctl: LOOP_SET_FD: Invalid argument". Please find below a short way for reproducing the error. Please note that this error only occurs if Ubuntu is running from the Live CD, and that is not limited to cramfs alone, but seems to be a more general issue with loop-mounting on the Live CD.
