boot from CD cannot mount /dev/loop0

[wolf99]

Hi Folks

I just dl'ed and burnt a 10.04 ubuntu disk (using infra recorder), and popped it in, the ubuntu load screen showed and progress got nearly done then a message shows:

"(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: input/output error.

Can not mount /dev/loop0 (cdrom/casperfilesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs."

Can I rescue this disc?

thanks

EDIT: I did have a 9.1 disc somewhere that did work OK before now (but lost is )

same here, the 64 bit doesnt mount with that exact same error) but the 32 bit version of lucid lynx does.
i found the 32 bit version somewhere in my box so i guess its not the snapshot but the 64 version is.
im runing out of cd's here
i will try to use a pendrive installation and see how that goes.
greets, kiesel

/edit: i decided to go with the dvd instead of the cd. the dvd is still 10.04, not 10.04.1. Everything worked fine

I'm getting this error with 2 burned CDs and on 2 separate computers. One was my laptop which is a Toshiba Satalite P105 and one is a desktop that I built myself, which has an ABIT MB and AMD64 CPU. I downloaded and burned Lucid 10.04 and got this error on these 2 machines so I went ahead and burned the ISO again to another CD, and I am still getting this same error.

I am trying the DVD download now and will attempt install from there.

UPDATE:
I downloaded and installed the DVD version of 10.04 and it is working great. I have Googled this error and found a couple of other sites that talk about having this issue when installing for the CD burned from the ISO from ubuntu.com. Is there a known issue with this release?

[horbrastar]

I'm seeing exactly the same error --- anyone know what the cause is?

[gibbogle]

I am seeing this error as well. Not a good introduction to ubuntu .
Did the previous post mean that burning a DVD instead of a CD is a solution?

[javila01]

How about from a USB drive my friend cause I have no DVD nor CD drive.

Thank you!

same error here, 5 different cdr's, all different brands, 2 computers, 2 dvdrw's, wow ubuntu, you seem to have an iso posted that works on nothing. not good for people reading that linux is easy these days.

I really hate it when people bitch and moan without reading the rest of the thread. I mean you spent the time to burn 5 cds on different computers, etc. and finally decide it's the ISO posted on the site thats bad which seems unlikely as there would be hundreds if not thousands of messages in this thread if it was a problem with the ISO. Did you ever think that maybe the problem is that you did not get the whole ISO downloaded?

I had the same problem , but it is my own fault for not checking the size of the download. i used two disks because i failed to look into it as i should have.

Seems were all so used to bad cd/dvd media that we automatically assume it was a bad burn. sad

As for any of you new to ubuntu , ubuntu is likely the best linux distro out there for every day ease of installation , not to mention use. You'll likely have your system up and running including you laptop users wireless , in under an hour , many cases well under an hour in including the burn , installation and configure.

The community has really taken to this distro over the years and committed to developing every aspect of it making something very complex simple and easy to use , not to mention super fun !
