Linux Ubuntu not booting - SquashFS Errors

Level F
My Headless Atom box has stopped booting into Ubuntu :( Its showing filesystem read errors similar to the ones shown here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquashfsErrors

So I tried a Ubuntu Live CD and now it shows the exact same errors shown above. I tried 2 different memory modules which is working fine on my desktop and still the same issue.

The board is an Intel D945GCLF2 and no other peripherals except a USB drive is connected. I tried the Ubuntu Live disk from more than 3 pendrives connected to different USB ports and its still the same. The same drive boots fine on my laptop.

What might be the issue? Will it be a motherboard issue?

Did you try memtest86?

Try that anyways.

^ I verifed the md5 and it is correct. Its booting just fine when I use the same usb drive on my laptop.

Also the original ubuntu installation of the system was working fine till few days ago and studdenly it stopped giving similar read errors.
 
Tried booting the system with "libata.dma=1" Kernel boot parameter? Also I'll recommend a fsck of your Linux Partition.Assuming that You have Ubuntu installed.

No will try that, but as I said earlier the same OS drive was working fine before and suddenly the problem started. I already did fsck on the partition and the patition was clean.

I think it took about 45 minutes and it said that check completed with no errors at the bottom. How long should I run it?
 
^ Im using Memtest86+, I can't see any extended test option in it. Anyway will run it for a few hours and see.

I noticed there is Memtest86 also, should I try that too?

Edit : Memtest running for 7.5 hours, still no errors!

If its not the memory, then what might be the problem?
