Bug Description

I was trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop Edition on my PC today. I booted up from my LiveCD.
Then,I reached up to the Ubuntu loading logo. It stayed there for a few minutes. But then I came to a black screen with the following written on the screen:

BusyBox v1.15.3 (Ubuntu 1:!.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in-shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/Output error
Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
udevd[75]: worker [199] unexpectedly returned with status 0x0100

uvdevd[75]: worker [193] failed while handling '/devices/virtual/block/loop0'

I have checked the MD5 of the ISO. Also, the ISO worked flawlessly while I used it to install Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine on my laptop.

Hi Shubh,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 666027

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

But I think this still happens with all the other CDs I've burnt myself.

Then that should be a problem with the images you downloaded or your burned.
The CDs should be the same. You can compare their md5.

perhaps a problem with your disc reader? or the quality of the discs you burned?
This doesn't seem to be an Ubuntu problem, and if it is, it should be one of the weirdest.
