Bug Description

On Beta1 of Karmic, installing it in Virtual Box gives no errors.

But if I install it on real hardware I get a loop with the following errors:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
SQUASHFS error: Unable to read

      inode 0xb3870658
                0xb2aa31900

      metadata cache entry [ 2a194f27 ]
                                          [ 2a19414c ]

      page, block 284b466a, size 26a8
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As a result, the boot process loops with those errors constantly.

I've performed an md5 check on both the iso and the burned CD, but since the Beta managed to be installed in a Virtual Machine, I do not see the problem being related to a bad iso/cd.

I've included my hardware specs as an attachment.

I also experience this error on my desktop, haven't tried other systems yet. On boot on the live cd you can choose language, you see splash screen, then the same squashfs error repeatedly during the load processes - never entering the actual live cd environment.

Attached also is hwinfo output (didn't see anything immediately similar with original posters).

I got a similar thing except it happened while I was using a 10.04 live session.
Something already messed with my sound in firefox but I was able to fix it and then I tried to open ~150 tabs to find a specific video
 on youtube and that blocked every program from opening new windows in gnome. Then I tried to log off and now I am stuck at a one of the ctrl+alt consoles and I get bombarded with "[xxxxxx.xxxxxx] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read metadata cache entry [29e30452]"
and
"[yyyyyy.yyyyyy] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read inode 0x1433160592".
