[Grml] can't mount squashfs

[John G. Heim]

Hi,

I am trying to modify the grml CD to allow me to include the Dell open
management tools. This is so that I can boot from a grml CD and configure
the RAID controller on a Dell server.

I am trying to follow the instructions on the wiki but I can't mount the
squashfs. The error message I get is below. I am trying this on a debian
squeeze machine with a 2.6.30 kernel.

# mount -o loop -t squashfs ./new/live/grml.squashfs ./loop/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
oot at lambeau:~/grml#I have done

The problem is that the squashfs file is lzma compressed. It seems that
your kernel does not support this. Just use a grml kernel with the lzma
patches or patch it yourself.

And please have a look at grml-live, you can easily create custom isos
with it.
