I modified the kickstart file following the procedure:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Az990tony/squashfs-surgery

I did this on an Ubuntu hardy machine with kernel 2.6.24-19. When I try 
to boot the USB stick, it fails with:

...
Done copying live image to RAM.
SQUASHFS error: Major/Minor mismatch, trying to mount newer 3.1 filesystem
SQUASHFS error: Please update your kernel
mount: wrong fs type, bad open, bad superblock on /dev/loop120
...
Bug in initramfs /init detected. Dropping to a shell. Good luck!

I hit the same error using the "Run from image" option. Suggestions?
