I was just about to answer the questiong myself. I'll just copy'n'paste what I was about to mail. :) Part of the errors are due to genkernel being broken: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207159 The other part is sqashfs. Apparently something is wrong with the generated squashfs image. I'm getting "Invalid argument" error when trying to mount it on the livecd and the following errors when I try to mount it on the build system, where catalyst is run: squashfs: version 3.2-r2 (2007/01/15) Phillip Lougher SQUASHFS error: Major/Minor mismatch, trying to mount newer 3.1 filesystem SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel Both kernels are 2.6.23-gentoo-r6 and I'm not going anywhere near 2.6.24. I'm using sys-fs/squashfs-tools-3.3 btw. > > -- > Andrew Gaffney > http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer > Catalyst/Installer + x86 release coordinator -- Regards, Tais M.
