Hi, Thank you all for your answers. I must say it finally worked. How? Check this out...
As I said in previous mails, dumping data (with 'dd') to a USB key and trying to boot the latest Ubuntu Mobile image<http://people.ubuntu.com/%7Eogra/mobile/>didn't work with two different USB keys and three different devices (Samsung Q1 UMPC, Asus G1 laptop and Acer TravelMate 3000 laptop). Just to give it a try, I created a Ubuntu MID image with Moblin's MIC tool, but it neither worked. I didn't give any importance to that as I didn't care too much about the target CPU architecture, I just wanted to see how the behaviour of the devices was when trying to boot from the USB key with a MIC-created image. Then, I dumped again an Ubuntu Mobile image with 'dd'; just the same procedure as the first try and with the same image. Then...it worked in Samsung Q1 (remember, non-Ultra), Asus G1 laptop and in Asus R2 UMPC as well. In Asus R2 the touchscreen didn't work at all, just the buttons but everything else was OK, as in the other two devices (in SQ1 the touchscreen worked properly). Well, I need to check the network connectivity as I need to configure static IP networking instead of automatic DHCP, but wireless networks are properly scanned. So, can be possible that Moblin's MIC tool prepared/formatted the USB key in such a special way that it could be properly booted? If not, I can't understand what happened at all. Steve, have you checked this out? If not and you feel like doing it, please, some feedback would be much appreciated.
