Thank You, Marek πŸ™‚ Here is the complete cmd, which helped me to generate the image using mkosi mkosi -d debian -r buster -b -t gpt\_ext4 --checksum --password password -f --package=vim --package=nano --package=linux-image-amd64 --package=libpam-systemd -o image.raw Here is the generated image, Google Drive [Link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yD3M8UVeh41XiMjQhWWU84RoZAK9ek1r?usp=sharing) Please check whether you can access it? The image is untouched when given to mender-convert as input. Some modifications which I made in config files, here is the details MENDER\_STORAGE\_DEVICE\_BASE="/dev/mmcblk1" MENDER\_BOOT\_PART="/dev/mmcblk1p1" MENDER\_ROOTFS\_PART\_A="/dev/mmcblk1p2" MENDER\_ROOTFS\_PART\_B="/dev/mmcblk1p3" Let me know, what did I miss if image is appropriate, what changes I should perform so that it doesn’t fail from GRUB 2.04 window. Regards, Sashank ---

Yes I fetched it thanks. I’ll try to install it first and then convert and play with it. I cannot promise today or tomorrow but during weekend should be feasible. πŸ˜‰ ---

@Sash sorry had busy weekend and cannot test it but today at least try to flash original image to my device to verify it boots (at it was booting πŸ˜‰ ). I converted image using mender-convert and tomorrow I’ll try to verify what can be cause of issue and get back to you. Thank you for patience πŸ‘ ---

@Sash I flashed mender-convert image to my x86 device and it boots perfectly fine (+ adding [patch](https://github.com/nandra/mender-conversion-tools/commit/0f500f215a9c944c85df731b2e499c6e111a5cc8) on top of actual tree). My config is following: ```auto MENDER_STORAGE_DEVICE_BASE=/dev/mmcblk0p MENDER_DEVICE_TYPE="x86_64" MENDER_STORAGE_TOTAL_SIZE_MB=3000 # Nothing to copy MENDER_COPY_BOOT_GAP="n" ``` so maybe try to use it and it will work also on your setup. Thanks. ---

@MarekBelisko Thanks for the inspection and validating on the generated mkosi image. I did consider the config file change and the patch as well, which you have pointed. Unfortunately ended again Dracut error. ![20200610_142235](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mender/original/1X/1ebd6c660848586bd833285b4d8b12124e1bdfbe.jpeg) After this error, Considering as per my HW device name has **mmcblk1** and its partition table as mmcblk1p1 EFI mmcblk1p2 Linux Based System mmcblk1p3 Linux-Swap So I made changes in config file MENDER\_STORAGE\_DEVICE\_BASE=/dev/mmcblk1p Here is the image which ends up **Kernel Panic** issue. Not sure again! ☹ ![Kernel-Panic](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mender/original/1X/434d059de47fea4600cabfdc5711d8dfe0e8a379.jpeg) Since it was successful worked for your x86 device. Whether _ **any pre-requisites required** _ before flashing mender-convert images i.e. xyz.img.gz? Crurious to know about your device partition table as well? ---

Here I have included the changes which you pointed as well as included changes [Pull-211](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender-convert/pull/211). This I had considered after cloning the master branch. πŸ€— And consider an equal amount of device partitions. πŸ™‚ [Previous page](https://hub.mender.io/t/unable-to-convert-images-using-mender-convert/1544.md?page=1)
