[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package casper - 1.327

---------------
casper (1.327) quantal; urgency=low

  [ Tim Lunn ]
  * add gnome-shell favorites tweak to 25adduser
  * Add 16gdmnopasswd script, removes gdm password dialog for live user.

  [ Stéphane Graber ]
  * Fix casper when running on some RAID systems. (LP: #1047316, LP: #965735)
  * Apply patch by Tyler Gates to try and better handle dm devices, should help
    with the above change too. (LP: #865529)
  * Use /sys/class/net/ instead of hardcoded eth* devices.
    (LP: #905828, LP: #962546)
  * Allow overriding username/userfullname/hostname on the boot command line
    as is mentioned in the manpage but was never implemented.
    Note that when using persistence, those used for the first boot will be
    remembered through /etc/casper.conf (LP: #907482)
  * Reset oem-config/enable to false every boot. (LP: #838680)
  * Add Breaks/Replaces to ubiquity-casper to properly upgrade when both
    casper and ubiquity-casper are installed. (LP: #1046300)
  * Apply patch by cleary to avoid hang in 41apt_cdrom when .disk/info doesn't
    exist. (LP: #909919)
  * Eject by block device instead of mountpoint, this should avoid ejecting
    the cdrom on USB installations. (LP: #869238)
  * Add 'check' target to debian/rules based on ubiquity's (LP: #570243)

Title:
  casper in initrd dies trying to find filesystem.squashfs on raid
  device

Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  We've made our own LiveCDs and also used the Ubuntu 12.04 ISO to USB
  trick with unetbootin and they both fail to find the
  filesystem.squashfs when there is an existing raid array on the
  system.  The end result is that it dumps you to initramfs.

  I've attached the casper.log file for the broken (default)
  initrd.img-3.2.0-30-generic . There is also a patch to 'fix' the
  problem and another 'working' log file.
