Bug Description
The desktop CDs currently fail to boot, since they cannot mount the squashfs.
I did some tests on a current hardy install: mounting gutsy's squashfs works fine, mounting hardy's does not. This happens with *both* 2.6.22 and 2.6.24, so the problem does not seem to be in the kernel module.
$ sudo mkdir /gutsy /hardy
$ sudo mount -o loop download/
$ sudo mount -o loop download/
gutsy works fine:
$ sudo mount -o loop -t squashfs /gutsy/
$ mount|grep squash
/gutsy/
$ sudo umount /mnt
hardy doesn't:
$ sudo mount -o loop -t squashfs /hardy/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop2,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
$ dmesg | tail
[...]

Since this does not depend on the kernel driver version, I guess that squashfs-tools 0.3.3 is broken somehow?
