We'll still stuck on that same error. Here is my kernel config that I |
| 30 |
stole from the squash image so I was sure it was being used. |

http://gregf.org/gentoo/kernel-config-x86_64-2.6.23-gentoo-r3 |
| 33 |
|

I also tried changing my livecd type to livecd/type: generic-livecd |
| 35 |
based off of the comments from the default spec file. No luck there |
| 36 |
either. |

Both loop and squashfs are enabled. I have done some looking around and |
| 39 |
I see a bunch of people complaining about the same issue on |
| 40 |
gentoo-wiki.com. I know it's unsupported, just where I happened to find |
| 41 |
others with the same issue. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
When I hit up the forums one person was talking about doing some things |
| 44 |
to get it working by modifying the squashfs image inside the iso. |
| 45 |
/dev/loop0 does exist inside the image. There is no entry in the fstab |
| 46 |
but I'm assuming everything is called with full paths so there is no |
| 47 |
need. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
First time doing this as I mentioned before so any help would be |
| 50 |
appreciated. If I can provide any info to make it easier let me know. |
