[SoaS] Mirabelle woes...

[Sameer Verma]

Hello from Jamaica!

I've been trying to set up SoaS Mirabelle for some kids while I'm in
Jamaica for our OLPC deployments. SoaS on USB has been a hit or miss,
but I realize that it has to do with brands, partition etc. The
VirtualBox approach hasn't been pretty either. Every time the VM locks
up and has to be reset, it refuses to boot a second time. I'm using a
persistent home using instructions from
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/VirtualBox/Preparing_a_disk_image

Not sure why the vm refuses to boot (says unable to mount root?) but
it looks like a persistent overlay related problem. Am I missing
something?

cheers,
Sameer
