Anybody know why I can't mount the squashfs from a grml CD? I'm running
debian squeeze with a custom 2.6.30 kernel. I thought maybe there was a
difference between the version of squashfs in the ikernel and the one in the
grmll filesystem but not. See below... The file command says the squashfs on
the grml CD is 4.0 and modinfo says the kernel module is 4.0. Also below is
the output from my mount command. BTW, there is nothing in the logs except a
message that it loaded the squashfs module.

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
