Bug Description

seems that rewrite of l-m-c doesnt special case imx51 and does not create boot/ partition for uImage and uInintrd ... i see that mkimage is used to create them, but when trying to boot from the SD i only see

 MMC:

on the serial. It then stops. Checking the SDcard there only is the non-fs data and rootfs partition while there should be three:

1. non-fs data (u-boot)
2. boot partition (fat for uImage and uInintrd and boot.scr)
3. rootfs partition (ext3 or something for the rootfs)

from the other bug that plars filed:

"I'm running l-m-c like this:
./linaro-image-tools/linaro-media-create --rootfs ext3 --hwpack-force-yes --dev mx51evk --binary linaro-m-headless-tar-20101108-2.tar.gz --hwpack hwpack_linaro-imx51_20101110-0_armel_unsupported.tar.gz --image_file mx51evk.img

When I use the latest revision of l-m-c, I see the following partition layout if I used parted to examine the resulting .img file:
 Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
  1 32.3kB 74.0MB 74.0MB primary boot, lba
  2 74.0MB 2147MB 2073MB primary ext3

With rev 237 and older, I get this:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
 1 32.3kB 74.0MB 74.0MB primary fat32 boot, lba
 2 74.0MB 2147MB 2073MB primary ext3

I don't have a mx51 to try this with at the moment, but I don't expect that will produce a bootable image.
bisecting seems to indicate this changed between revision 237 and 238."

---------------
linaro-image-tools (0.4.2-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    - Switch to non-native mode and drop Vcs-Bzr.
    - Build-depend on python-distutils-extra for DistutilsExtra.
    - Fixes support for mx51evk images; LP: #705410.
    - New or noteworthy:
      . Support for Gumstix Overo boards has been added.

      . Support for ARM Versatile Express boards has been fixed.
      . The fdisk command is not required anymore.
      . The UUID of the rootfs is not pre-computed anymore; this allows btrfs

        https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra to run setup.py.
      . Support for 10.11 / linaro-m images has been restored.
      . The hardware pack handling code is now GPLv2+
  * Append /sbin to PATH and export it as to locate parted and sfdisk.
