Porting issues

 

Hi,

I'm trying to port ubuntu-touch to a device but have issues with this.

I've ported all the changes from phablet-saucy branch to my code base
(non-CM, pure codeaurora).
I decided to skip recovery procedures because I can build all the images
(kernel, system, userdata, etc) and try to run the phone using just
fastboot to flash the phone.

The phone starts, initrd can run, but it fails to complete boot sequence:
there is no /root/var/lib/lxc/android/system.img for ex. and I did not find
who and when can generate it.
I'm using pure phablet build for tilapia for comparison of the builds and
also cannot find that /root/var/lib/lxc/android/system.img (even in
recovery image)
This causes device to be unrecognized ("unknown) and probably causes some
other steps to fail.

Also, /root is read-only for some reason and I also suspect this prevents
the system to boot:
+ mkdir -p /root/android
mkdir: can't create directory '/root/android': Read-only file system

What I'm doing wrong?

WBR,
Dmitry
