I assume that the image works 100% in a Samsung Q1 Ultra (any 'special' USB key used?), but I also thought that, as Ubuntu Mobile is now multiarchitecture (regarding CPU) and different from Ubuntu MID (based in Moblin and Intel's Atom CPUs and similar architectures), it should work in all devices where Ubuntu desktop edition (standard from Canonical) works. Please, correct me if I missed something and I'm wrong.
I understand that it doesn't work because of BIOS and bootable USB compatibility in the Samsung Q1 (mine is model NP-Q1-M000), but why the errors are different from one USB key (blinking cursor) to another (missing bootable partition message)? Any piece of advice will be much appreciated.
