Looks like the images are only for ATOM processors and so on:
http://moblin.org/downloads says:
System Requirements:
CPU: Intel(r) Atom(tm) or Intel(r) Core(tm) 2 CPU (support for SSSE3)
Note: Moblin will not work on non-SSSE3 CPUs
Platforms with the GMA-500 Graphics chipset are not supported. -
What? no GMA-500 support? GMA-500 is almost an Intel product except it wasn't developed by them - it was designed by PowerVR (not open source) with the linux driver by Tungsten Graphics. This is messy for Linux and it's windows drivers for Vista were... shite.
SSSE3 is on Xeon, Core 2 Duo/Extreme/Quad, a few Celerons and Atom.
Looks like they engineer Moblin to run on THEIR OWN hardware without exception. Last people to do this were Apple, so if Intel don't mess up, Moblin might well be a solid OS, especially since Intel wanna move their (onboard) graphics GPU's to a core on the main processor. Imma keep my eye on this.
Nice one, but at 25 minutes that YouTube can go to feck
