hardware - crownbay


1. Download the core-image-sato-sdk-crownbay-noemgd.hddimg from AB and write it on a USB drive
2. Try to install/liveboot it on a crownbay hardware.


EXPECTED
2. Boot / Install successful

ACTUAL
2. Boog/Install hangs when loading vmlinuz.
When loading vmlinuz some dots appear to show that it is loading. The process hangs there: (see attachment)

This happens only with crownbay-noemgd image. Without noemgd the Install/Boot works.

The core-image-sato-sdk-crownbay.hddimg boots and installs fine on the same hardware?

Typically this failure is due to there not being enough memory to live-boot larger images such as the sato-sdk images. The difference between noemgd and emgd is new though and not what I would expect. Can you confirm that it was the sato-sdk boot/install that works on the emgd variant?
Comment 2 Nitin Kamble 2013-09-04 21:34:30 UTC
I just tried this with my locally built core-image-sato for crownbay-noemgd and it is able to proceed with installation.

Hi Nitin, Darre,

I perform this test with this type of image on every full-pass and same hardware and this happened with the build I downloaded from the internal AB on M4.rc2 build: http://autobuilder03.jf.intel.com/pub/nightly-meta-intel/20130829-1/machines/crownbay-noemgd/core-image-sato-sdk-crownbay-noemgd.hddimg


- I will try with the new RC3 image and see what happens and try again with the current noemgd variant

- for emgd variant I could liveboot and install without problems.

Hmm...
Just flashed the noemgd image again and tried liveboot and install and I have this X errors:

Liveboot:
-i could start boot but it hanged when starting X
- see attach 1

After install:
- same behavior, but different output
- see attach 2


I will wait and try with the RC3 images and see if that reproduces.

Hi,
I tried again with the RC3 image: http://autobuilder03.jf.intel.com/pub/nightly-meta-intel/20130905-1/machines/crownbay-noemgd/core-image-sato-sdk-crownbay-noemgd.hddimg

poky: ed3ef0823fde89371a473d20c0127c0bd16d062b
meta-intel: a30089ab6a38541f729c680f1b3f05c3fbdc6ecf

The installation worked but I could not liveboot.
Comment 8 Nitin Kamble 2013-09-11 18:25:49 UTC
I just tried the latest bits for crownbay-noemgd

** poky repo: master: commit 0ca5d1fb38157564a2b9452ade32391d18a41b09
** meta-intel: master: commit c5bce5dcaedc570c5220632c65dcf00773e0fd6b
** kernel version:linux-yocto-3.8.13+gitAUTOINC+f706bd410c_f20047520a-r4.2

And the liveboot is working as expected.

Can you try again?
Comment 9 Alexandru Georgescu 2013-09-12 08:08:49 UTC
Sure, 
I will try with 1.5_M5.rc1
Comment 10 Alexandru Georgescu 2013-09-23 13:59:16 UTC
Marking this as worksforme since I couldn't reroduce it on 1.5_m5.rc4. Will reopen it if this happens again.
Comment 11 Alexandru Georgescu 2013-09-23 14:00:44 UTC
verified.
