You can go into Single user mode without installing by doing:
When you boot up the livecd, once you see the boot menu, press 'tab'...
It will allow you to add the word 'single' to the booting command-line (or any
other run-level you like)...
That will put you single-user mode...
Also, I am taking look at the kernel again and making sure the IEGD code is out
of there...seems like there is a bug where if the IEGD patch is applied, but
the config is disabled, it won't allow Vesa to run correctly...

Hi,
The problem is since Im not able to install it Im not able to go to the single
user mode.
Is this problem due to the way Im burning it on to the USB stick or could
something be wrong with the way the image was created?

Also, if that doesn't work, boot in single-user...boot up to the kernel...then
run 'X-configure' to automatically create an xorg.conf...then use that
xorg.conf to try and 'startx'...
I suspect the issue might be that...but I can't be sure until we at least
assert that you can boot up to the kernel...

Ok try this....
Boot from single-user mode...see if the kernel comes up...then 'startx'...
To boot to single-user, when the install menu comes up, press 'escape', then
add the word 'Single' in the boot options...

Hi,
I initially used the command
"sudo dd
if=moblin-2.1-2.1-preview-ivi-noiegd-201002182031.usbimg of=/dev/sdb "
to burn the image to the USB stick.
After Selbak's suggestion I also tried the
"moblin-image-writer -c
moblin-2.1-2.1-preview-ivi-noiegd-201002182031.usbimg "
but both give me only the blinking cursor on the black screenwhen I try to boot
from the USB stick.
I tried to install the image from the USB stick to a hard disk it gives me the
error:
"Waiting for system to settle before starting installation...
19:09:54 Fatal Error: X startup failed
/usr/sbin/liveinst: line 90: kill: ' ' : not a pid or valid
job spec
INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel"
I haven't tried the LiveCD yet.
The command I used to create the image in the first place is
"sudo moblin-image-creator --verbose --debug
--config=2.1-preview-ivi-noiegd.ks --format=liveusb --cache=mycache"
Any help????
Thanks
Vandana
