Subject:    [Moblin Dev] Can not boot with Live image.

[Download RAW message or body]

Hello,

After using MIC 0.34 or 0.35, the image created by
MIC still can not boot...
I'm wondering that why the message occurs during booting..

"sda : unknown partition table"

This may be the root cause that the bootloader can not mount
the USB dongle and then failed to boot the system or install
the OS on target.

Does anyone knows why this happen ? How to fix ?

Regards,
Wayne
