I've updated the wiki guide to include the --hwpack option and avoid the
problematic 4G image size (using 2G instead). 

I'll go ahead and file the bug as well. I'm still suspicious that its
really a linaro-media-create issue, as the qemu-maemo package is from
9/21 and I can't get image packages that had worked in the past to work
now. So I believe the only thing that has changed is the
linaro-media-create tools.

This should also be:

  http://snapshots.linaro.org/10.11-daily/linaro-alip/20101109/0/

The 20101108 build was a last attempt to bring the ALIP size down for
release, but it failed to include a few critical components like a web
browser.  So please test with 20101109 instead.

The 20101109 hardware pack for imx51 is known not to work out of the box; a
new 20101110 hardware pack is being built now with an updated u-boot.

The size correction in lmc happens at the end, so my best guess is that it's
a qemu issue.  Id put a bug in against that, and we should probably release
note it as well.

Yep. bzr pulled today. I'm on rev 165.

I've just gone back testing older images and hwpacks I've used in the
past and am seeing the same issue there, so it does seem like its
connected to the linaro-media-create scripts.

Here's the command I'm using, just as listed on the wiki:
#linaro-media-create --image_file beagle_sd.img --image_size 4G --swap_file
200 --dev beagle --binary
linaro-images/linaro-m-headless-tar-20101108-2.tar.gz  --hwpack
linaro-images/hwpack_linaro-omap3_20101109-1_armel_supported.tar.gz


Per our irc discussion, I tried reproducing this by omitting the
"--image_size 4G" portion, and indeed it seems that worked and the
resulting image boots fine. Similarly it works fine using 8G. Something
just seems off using 4G.

Looking at linaro-media-create to see if I can narrow anything down.

thanks

Is your branch up to date?  If so, what are the command line options you are

So I know its not on the testing list, but the qemu instructions on the
wiki page fail, as they don't include an omap3 hwpack.

Further, after providing an omap3 hwpack to build the image, the
resulting image seems to have partition table issues when booted with
qemu:

[   24.961090] EXT3-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
Begin: Running /scripts/local-bottom ... done.
done.
Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done.
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
rootfs: The filesystem size (according to the superblock) is 1030168 blocks
The physical size of the device is 1030118 blocks
Either the superblock or the partition table is likely to be corrupt!


rootfs: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
(i.e., without -a or -p options)
mountall: fsck / [224] terminated with status 4
mountall: Filesystem has errors: /
Errors were found while checking the disk drive for /
Press F to attempt to fix the errors, I to ignore, S to skip mounting or M for 
manual recovery


I'll file a bug here shortly if this hasn't already been seen.

But in the meantime, before tomorrow it seems we may want to remove the
qemu instructions for this release.

Hi,

It has been pointed out that due to a failure in the build system the following
image link is wrong.

> EFL Netbook image:

Please use the image at

 EFL Netbook image:
 http://snapshots.linaro.org/10.11-daily/linaro-netbook-efl/20101108/1/

For your testing.
