MAAS Curtin Issues

[Tom Barber]

Hi folks

I'm testing MAAS on an UDOO X86 and have 99% of it working.

I disabled UEFI to get stuff working smoother, now machines commission,
they switch on and off etc, but when I tell it to boot into ubuntu I get an
error from curtin:

If I install Centos though it runs fine. Clearly its unhappy about the
internal MMC disk partitioning but its only the defaults and a manual
install of Xenial works fine.

Anyone got anything I could tweak to see if it gets further?

Thanks

Tom
