SQUASHFS error :squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x1311f16

Hello there,

I'm trying to install Arch in a VM right now. I'm pretty sure I did everything right. It's not as hard as I thought after some aRch bTw users told me it's the hardest thing to do... but I probably made a mistake anyway.

I'm using Grub and Hyper-V.

After rebooting I just see thousand of lines with the same error message (SQUASHFS error :squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x1311f16) on my screen.

Also, somehow putting KEYMAP=de-latin1 in /etc/vconsole.conf doesn't change anything. But that's the smaller problem.

Thanks in advance for any help:)

There are a few reasons this may happen but if your sure you did everything right I think its possible you might have faulty hardware. A bad stick of RAM can cause this error, does the host operating system work without issue and can you run memtest86+ to check your RAM? If you can run memtest86+ then at a minimum you can rule out bad hardware. Another possibility is an incorrectly setup boot loader.

I got kinda angry, wiped my windows installation and installed it on the bare metal. Now it's working.
