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
imagehttp://people.ubuntu.com/%7Eogra/mobile/didn't work with two
different USB keys and three
Seems very strange that it worked second time around. I can't see why it
didnt work the first tie round. I thought a dd copied raw data to the disk
starting at the first sector therefore overwriting anything, including
formating, that was on the disk before.
Great that its working now though. Have
I have just installed Ubuntu Mobile in Asus R2 UMPC and everything worked
fine till boot time after finishing.
Error 15 (File not found) appeared because the path to kernel in menu.lst
(/boot/last-good-boot/vmlinuz) didn't exist, neither the directory nor the
file, so I tried to play around but
I would also make sure you reformat the drive first. Often I cannot
boot if I just use DD, If I reformat the drive first (using ext3 or
Fat32) it works fine. You can reformat it using Gparted in Ubuntu.
Talk to you soon,
Ryan.

There are possibly two reasons why this didn't work, both of which are
very common mistakes.
1. Using the dd command to write to the usb drive partition instead
of the entire drive (/dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sdb).
2. Not including the block size in the dd command parameters;
Hi,
I have downloaded both September 23rd and 25th images of Ubuntu Mobile
from here
and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-mid/intrepid/, after following the
instructions here http://people.ubuntu.com/%7Eogra/mobile/, I haven't been

I'm using 'dd' in a Ubuntu 8.04 box.
The blinking cursor appears with a SanDisk Cruzer Micro (4GB) USB key.
I have just tried with a Kingston Datatraveler (2GB) and, instead of the
blinking cursor, I got a No bootable partition in table message.
Any additional steps to prepare the bootable USB
I wasnt able to get the image to boot from a Q1b last bight as the BIOS
doesn't seem to support it. THe Q1b is a VIA-based device but maybe the BIOS
is simlar in that it doesnt allow booting from flash. I might be able to try
it on a Q1P later today for you.
For reference, Q1U, Wibrain, SC3,
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
By the way, is it possible to burn the image into a CD and try to boot the
SQ1 from it?
Thanks,
Javi

HI Javi,
Try using 'bs=4096' with the dd command. I have seen USB key not
boot when dd is used without setting byte size.
Thanks,
