This is a strace from run image-creator.

I dug a little bit and found the the cause of the problem and a quick and dirty solution.

The reason:

Image Creator uses platform.dist() to determine the platform it's running on. If you run 'python -c "import platform; print platform.dist()"' on Ubuntu before 8.10, the result is something like '('debian', 'lenny/sid', '')'. If you run it on 9.04, the result is something like '('Ubuntu', '9.04', 'jaunty')'

A quick fix:
change mic_cfg.py as attached

[xbartx (xbartx)]

I patch /usr/share/pdk/lib/mic_cfg.py and image-creator work fine. Good job Koan-Sin Tan.

[modi (diddischmeier)]

i want to use moblin-image-creator-2 to create an moblin-image for my eee 701.
i cant find this mic_cfg.py on my 9.10.
What can i do?
is there a prebuild image i can DL somewhere?
