Bug Description

The built image will not boot. I have tried using different kernels in config, to no avail. My cd, natty beta 1, has -7, the one in updates is -8. 8 will not install correctly. When 7 is used in config, the iso boots to a blank screen. When 8 is used, it spools error messages about 8's missing modules (because they didn't install)

There are a few solutions i can think of:
-use the most recent natty cd as the base
-find out what kernel is on the base, and use that in config
-get a base with the most recent kernel
-remove old kernels
-install multiple times to make sure it works
Combinig all of these should do the trick

@Martin this issue is about building cd images, not regular ugr

I have used the ideas above. There are now no more kernel or other major issues upon startup. However, the cd boots to a blank black screen.

We need to resync with the original ebuild anyways: the one we are using is meant for 10.10. They have since updated it for 11.04 at https://code.launchpad.net/~elementaryos/elementaryos/eBuild

Resynced to elementary's new code. The image now boots to a blue screen with a cursor. If you press ctrl+alt+f1 you can get a console. Just about every command fails with the mysterious message "cannot close file descriptor: Input/ output error". This message is also the reason why gdm won't load, hence the blue screen.

Perhaps we should ask the elementary team for help in #elementary or #elementary-dev?
