[Bug 34172] Re: LiveCD: boot progress feedback (is it booting or is it hung up?)

[David Fraser]

Had a similar error to above using ubuntu 6.0.6 desktop i386 install, with Samsung DVD/RW
Note that in my case the device name is correct and consistent (hdb)
The logical block given for the error is 357298 (then later 357297/6) - but the iso image only has 357297 blocks (as confirmed by the iso header) - and have checked the md5sum of the downloaded image
So it seems like this has to do with trying to read past the end of the disk and the failure been really slow ... after leaving it for about 5-10 minutes it seems to mount the loopback filesystem OK
