I get the SQUASHFS error: sb_bread failed reading block while trying to boot from a known good 8.04.1 LiveCD
.... as per Dimitrios' suggestion memtest shows that my second memory module has gone bad - doh! Removed the bad module and all is now working. So for me the error (same as for the original poster) _was_ due to bad memory. -- 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
