AM2 problems with SquashFS

There seems to be a bug on SquashFS affecting Dual core AM2 AMD64 systems. These system boots after supplying the following command at the CD bootloader prompt:

/isolinux/kernel initrd=initrd init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=4096 root=/dev/ram0 video=vesafb:off noapic nolapic nosmp apic=off Boot=LiveCD max_loop=32

This problem does not affect the installed system, which works with SMP/HT/AM2 fine.

Other issues

The LiveCD is known to have problems booting on the VirtualBox OSE emulator. This has been fixed in the in-development version of the distribution.
