I just experienced this error, and it seems to be caused by a faulty USB stick.
I downloaded a daily build of Maverick, and confirmed that the md5 sums matched. This image was written to a USB stick using the Startup Disk Creator. I first booted this USB stick on a laptop and got the error, then rewrote the image to the USB stick, tried to boot the laptop again and got the same error. Then I tried to boot another computer with the USB stick and the same error appeared, so it seems unlikely that it is a hardware related issue. After writing the image to a new USB stick, the laptop boots without errors. -- SQUASHFS error while booting from live cd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/172937 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
