GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Canont boot Crownbay from USB using this image: http://autobuilder03.jf.intel.com/pub/nightly-meta-intel/20120712-1/machines/crownbay/core-image-sato-sdk-crownbay-20120712020904.hddimg GRUB could not find the kernel file. OTHER COMMENTS: Using a live DVD (I burned it using this image: http://autobuilder03.jf.intel.com/pub/nightly-meta-intel/20120712-1/machines/crownbay/core-image-sato-sdk-crownbay-20120712020904.iso) could start boot, but it didn't finnish. The progressbar was over 90% but it stopped there. Instead, I could install it on the HDD without problems.
For the first item, it's likely the problem is the sdk image is too large for the BIOS. Please look at this section in README.hardware and see if that works for you: If the device fails to boot with "Boot error" displayed, or apparently stops just after the SYSLINUX version banner, it is likely the BIOS cannot understand the physical layout of the disk (or rather it expects a particular layout and cannot handle anything else). There are two possible solutions to this problem: For the second problem, likely because X needs writeable media, similar to "qemu: when booting from live CD, X cannot be started needs unionfs" https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1487
Alex can you respond to Tom's comment?
Hello, Sorry for the late reply! I have followed the README.hardware install process for the USB key as Tom suggested and it worked fine. Thanks for the tip! Alex.
