this patch works well with kernel 2.6.24,
but this patch does not solve the problem in testing,
the squashfs version is 3.2 for the kernel in testing 

apt-cache policy  squashfs-modules-2.6.22-3-686
squashfs-modules-2.6.22-3-686:
     2.6.22+3.2r2-9 0
        990 http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages

and squashfs-tools is only available in version 3.3 in any of testing or 
unstable,

apt-cache policy  squashfs-tools
squashfs-tools:
     1:3.3-3 0
        990 http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages
          9 http://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages

Is that the available packages do not allow to do a correct install in 
testing ?

The only way is using the packages for kernel 2.6.24 in unstable ?
