STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download and write the image with dd on a USB stick
2. Power up Crownbay bsps and liveboot it


EXPECTED RESULT
2. Image boots and matchbox desktop is displayed

ACTUAL RESULT
2. After GRUB, booting stops at one moment. See attachment for more details.

I suspect this is a not enough ram issue. Try preparing an image rather than a live image.

How much ram on this system?
Comment 2 Nitin Kamble 2013-04-03 23:43:01 UTC 
My crownbay system is giving error that this image is not bootable. Also this issue is not expected as last week as well as this week my testing for crownbay bsp for core-image-sato is working as expected.

Comment 3 Nitin Kamble 2013-04-04 19:14:00 UTC 
Today I tried building a sato-sdk image for crownbay-noemgd BSP and dding it to a USB key and try booting from it. And I am seeing same "boot error"

so looks like crownbay BIOS does not support booting larger images.
Comment 4 Tom Zanussi 2013-04-04 19:29:50 UTC 
Does a non-sdk image work?

Usually for the larger (sdk) images you need to use the instructions in README.hardware that start with 'If the device fails to boot with "Boot error" displayed, or apparently...'
Comment 5 Nitin Kamble 2013-04-04 20:57:28 UTC 
Thanks Tom,
  Now I am trying the the mkdiskimage method.
Comment 6 Nitin Kamble 2013-04-04 21:51:12 UTC 
For me after creating the USB flash disk with the mkdiskimage method. The same image is booting fine to X.

Alexandru Georgescu,
  So, looks like for your setup the USB creation may not be correct. Please follow this readme for the mkdiskimage method: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/README.hardware
  And let me know how it goes?
 
Thanks,
Nitin
Comment 7 Alexandru Georgescu 2013-04-09 15:51:31 UTC 
Hi Nintin,
I am testing the crownbay for some time now, and the dd method worked just fine. The thing is that on the last RC2 build, the image had some problems on booting even after install, see https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4159 .

I will try again tomorrow with the new RC3 build: meta-intel:3de2325133eb581c5c8d66133821ea5a801cf8ae and inform you. I have a feeling that the bug will dissapear.

Just tested with the RC3 build. It boots in live mode!
