RE: Problems booting menlow box
I am still trying to recompile the psb driver against the ubuntu kernel. The psb driver installed by the packages does not seem to be correct. However, your changes worked fine against the moblin kernel and psb driver.

It's not an "such a horrible idea" at all but the same reason that this won't happen soon, at least as an "official" effort, as you said, is the same reason why we will not have a "PDA version" or a "cellphone version" (to quote some of the requests I've heard): we don't have currently the resources for that. Canonical sponsors the development of this project but we have to keep the focus to what this project was created for: UMPC-type machines as you noticed. It doesn't mean that we will not have it something as you want, we can't just make any promises right now. Now that I told you why not, let me tell you how :) : the UME is quite generic in the sense that it runs in a common x86 platform so, if you cook-up a suitable kernel, you won't have much problems running the other elements. Some compilation parameters will have to be changed or you will have to force-install the packages to have the correct interface but that's basically all you'll have to do. Why don't you give it a shot or start a project yourself? It's fun and you will be not only filling your own need but also contribute something back to the community pool.

Generic i386 platform please. Response Requested.
Hello Folks, I perused the mail list archives looking for an answer to a question, and I see a fair number of people asking basically the same thing (two unanswered questions on roughly the same topic in November alone) but no answers. Can somebody please answer the following for inquiring minds: Can we please have an official "Generic i386" platform? My personal need is a bunch of old laptops and tablets laying around the house that I would love to breath some new life into. I know that UMPC machines are the focus and generic i386 machines are not the focus of Ubuntu UME, but there is no other comparable solution for older hardware. I would love to have, and would offer to host, a Ubuntu UME ISO image for a generic i386 platform if somebody would cough one up for me occasionally. Failing that can somebody mention in a FAQ or wiki why that would be such a horrible idea and why it is not going to happen so people will stop asking questions like this? I understand the machine would be sluggish, maybe even unusuable. But can somebody at least try it once?

Problems booting menlow box
I've not been able to build a new image to test -psb with moblin-image-creator, however Mithrandir supplied me with an img he built. However, after powercycling the test hardware this morning, it no longer boots, and I cannot access BIOS. I'd had the machine up and running this morning on the old UME image, and hadn't touched the hardware in the meantime, so I'm not sure what's gone wrong.
