Description beck 2009-05-29 18:22:44 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Dell Laptop XPS M1730, GRUB boot - Windows Vista / Ubuntu 9.04.

Boot fails on Laptop. Loads into the Shell. View Log file:
Begin: Running /scripts/live-premount ...done.
Begin: Running /scripts/live-realpremount ....done.
Warning: Unknown file system type on /dev/loop0 (/live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs), assuming squashfs.
Begin: Mounting "/live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs" on "/filesystem.squashfs" via "/dev/loop0" ... mount: mounting /dev/loop0

-------------
I tried the liveCD in an older Dell GX270 desktop and it booted to the Xwindows and I was able to do a few things. But it was on the Laptop I needed to adjust the partion 

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
on the Laptop Yes.

(Firstly excuse my poor knowlegde of the english language)
I faced allmost the same bug:
Please describe the problem:
Laptop Dell Precison M6300, GRUB boot - Windows Vista / CentOS 5.4.
Hard Disk is FUJITSU MHW2160BJ FFS G2 ATA DEVICE
The BIOS tells me: "SATA AHCI" (not "ATA")
Boot fails with Error message:
Can not mount /dev/loop (/live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs) on
//filesystem.squashfs 

The file live.log is:
Begin:    ... done.
Begin:    ... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/live-realpremount ... done
Begin: Mounting "/live/image/filesystem.squashfs" on "/filesystem.squashfs" via "/dev/loop0" ... mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/output error

This happens with gparted live CD 0.4.8.-6 AND gparted live CD 0.4.6.-1.
(md5sum of file gparted-live-0.4.6.-1.iso is checked as correct,
md5sum of file gparted-live-0.4.8.-6.iso is not checked.)

But this happens NOT with both live CD on an older 
Laptop Dell Inspiron 9100, GRUB boot - Windows XP / CentOS 5.4.
On this computer both, 0.4.8.-6 and 0.4.6.-1, boot fine.

There have been many changes to GParted Live since this bug was first reported.

Would you be able to try GParted Live 0.7.0-4?
