[Bug 569730] Re: Installing from USB disk fails: Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow

[Stéphane Graber]

Marking as invalid on casper's side, this has indeed to do with the tool
used to make the media, it should have created an ext3/ext4 partition
which it clearly didn't.

** Changed in: casper (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid

Title:
  Installing from USB disk fails: Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have downloaded the .iso image of Ubuntu netbook remix 10.4 RC
  (ubuntu-10.04-rc-netbook-i386.iso), and created a bootable USB stick
  with usb-creator.exe on Windows XP.

  When booting the stick, the boot menu appears, but after choosing to
  install or test, i get a busybox prompt. After the busybox splash
  screen an error is shown: "Can not mount /dev/loop1 on /cow". I have
  tested this on 2 computers, a netbook and a desktop PC.

  Attached are caspar.log and dmesg.txt, created as described on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingCasper . (note: when I created the
  logs, Windows on that computer was hibernated).
