Hi!
I have had MEPIS 3.4 installed, and working fine for a month or so now,
and i have had no major problems,
but today i tried to upgrade to 6.0,
but recieved the following error:
"found MEPIS filesystem........
mount:Mounting/dev/loop0 on /linux failed:
Invalid argument
done.
Cant start filesystem.
Halting......."
Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

current OS: Mepis 3.4
Check The Download and CD

danielches, did you verify the iso download by performing an md5sum command on it? Did you do the same thing with the burned cd? Both md5sums should be identical, and both should be identical to the md5sum from the location where you downloaded the image.
To check the iso do the following commmand:
md5sum /full/path/to/downloaded/image
To check the burned cd-rom, put it in the drive but do not mount it. Then, assuming that /dev/cdrom is your drive do the following command:
md5sum /dev/cdrom
If the image is bad, download again. If the cd is bad, burn again at a slow speed
