LAVA appears to be working properly here. Master boot looks goods, however lava-test shell is failing when trying to boot the test image.

I suppose there is a FDT that should be loaded when booting this test image? If so we might need to control the u-boot directly, rather than rely on predefined boot configuration set with IPMI.

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

Only the pre-built images were failing because of the lack of fdt in the bootcmd.

Daily builds job are using linaro-image-tools trunk, where I fixed an issue in the bootcmd:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~linaro-image-tools/linaro-image-tools/trunk/revision/634

It exposed a bug in the hwpack, since fdt wasn't specified.

When LIT is used in LAVA, an image deployment with hwpack isn't affected.

The hwpack configuration is now fixed and pre-built image will work again.
