If I boot the image into a single mode, and then verify reading the squashfs as a compressed file or the files in the mounted uncompressed image - there are no errors on read. Yet if i let it boot into X - it does not - gets bogged with disk access errors. And then there is no access to a USB key anymore. Will need to investigate further..
