I'm also new user to unbuntu UNR. That's the wrong solution. You no longer have a persistent storage by running usb-creator with discarded on shutdown. This problem is caused usb-creator.exe not creating a proper casper-rw containting a valid ext3/ext2 filesystem. Fixes are to create a working

Actually, I just solved this problem by using the method explained at: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1306277.html On creation of the USB boot disk using usb-creator, selecting discarded on shutdown resolves the problem for me. -- casper-rw file not detected due to improper use of

nevermind, I should have read the whole thread. In any case, I tried the script. I had to take out the p option on all the cp commands to get it to work. It booted, but only once. On the second boot it said it couldn't mount /dev/sda2 -- casper-rw file not detected due to improper use of fstype

Unless one of you is willing to provide the information we have asked for, there is nothing we can do about it. Please reopen the bug if you have exact same description as in the original report and attach the casper.log. ** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Invalid --

My apologies, Tormod. To be honest, I don't know how much related to the original post this is. However, I am almost 100% sure this is the same problem febrile is having (post #5). Furthermore, it may have something to do with agp since I can boot with persistence if I yank out my geforce fx5200

I would just like to say I am having the exact same issue Febrile is describing. Boots OK without persistence and does not boot with persistence. I can also confirm that this occurs with knoppix 6 as well. When I create a persitent img file it no longer booted. I booted from the CD then deleted

Just to flag up that this issue may also apply to UNR 9.10 beta: I make a bootable SD card of ubuntu-9.10-beta-netbook-remix.iso with usb-creator - with persistence I have the same (initramfs) error: mounting /dev/loop1 on /cow failed - with no persistence it boots fine I'm afraid I didn't

Actually, double checking, the get_fstype() function tries a second method if fstype returns unknown: it uses /lib/udev/vol_id -t /dev/sdb1.And, in fact /lib/udev/vol_id, when run from within the (initframfs) prompt, does display vfat and get_fstype is actually returning vfat. So, the title
