Hi Greg and Mathias,
I had recently the same problem. Here is a workaround which worked at least for
me with the menlow-lpia-ubuntu-hardy platform. Since I am new to the list, my
apologies if this has been already discussed/solved elsewhere.
The problem seemed to be in my case that the mountroot script is assuming that
you boot from a removable device. This is true if you boot from a real
USB-stick. However, when you use the live-image with a VM then the image is
treated as regular harddisk and, thus, is not removable. This leads to the
problem that the rootfs.img will never be found.
You find the mountroot script in the directory (it is important that you do
this for your specific platform)
/usr/share/pdk/platform/<your platform>/initramfs/usb
In this script, you have the lines
if [ -e /sys/block/${device}/removable ]; then
if [ "$(cat /sys/block/${device}/removable)" = "1" ]; then
Remove the "removable" condition, e.g., replace by
If [1 -eq 1]; then
If [1 -eq 1]; then
After that, create a new liverw-image with your platform/target and try to boot
it with the VM.
Regards,
Marcel
