well, the problem is not that repacked images do not work but that
kernel panics when accessing such repacked image.

EIhter way, linux 2.6 is obsolete by now and hopefully future kernels do
not have such bug.

Title:
  linux panics when squashfs image created by older squashfs tools is
  accessed

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I tried to repack my Ubuntu live image with squashfs tools from Debian
  (squashfs-tools 1:4.0-8).

  It caused a kernel panic when booting from the repacked image.

  It is completely acceptable that the kernel cannot use old suqashfs
  images but then it should refuse to mount the image, not panic.

  It is likely that mounting and accessing a squashfs image would crash
  a system booted normally from HDD so if I copied this squashfs
  filesystem to an USB flash and plugged it into an Ubuntu system with
  automounting enabled it would crash when an application would try to
  access the drive flash.
