well, the problem is not that repacked images do not work but that kernel panics when accessing such repacked image.
EIhter way, linux 2.6 is obsolete by now and hopefully future kernels do not have such bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/820365 Title: linux panics when squashfs image created by older squashfs tools is accessed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I tried to repack my Ubuntu live image with squashfs tools from Debian (squashfs-tools 1:4.0-8). It caused a kernel panic when booting from the repacked image. It is completely acceptable that the kernel cannot use old suqashfs images but then it should refuse to mount the image, not panic. It is likely that mounting and accessing a squashfs image would crash a system booted normally from HDD so if I copied this squashfs filesystem to an USB flash and plugged it into an Ubuntu system with automounting enabled it would crash when an application would try to access the drive flash.
