I was just about to answer the questiong myself. I'll just copy'n'paste what I |
| 22 |
was about to mail. :) |

Part of the errors are due to genkernel being broken: |
| 26 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207159 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The other part is sqashfs. Apparently something is wrong with the generated |
| 29 |
squashfs image. I'm getting "Invalid argument" error when trying to mount it |
| 30 |
on the livecd and the following errors when I try to mount it on the build |
| 31 |
system, where catalyst is run: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
squashfs: version 3.2-r2 (2007/01/15) Phillip Lougher |
| 34 |
SQUASHFS error: Major/Minor mismatch, trying to mount newer 3.1 filesystem |
| 35 |
SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Both kernels are 2.6.23-gentoo-r6 and I'm not going anywhere near 2.6.24. I'm |
| 38 |
using sys-fs/squashfs-tools-3.3 btw. |
