Can you put your images somewhere where I can access them?  I can give
you an FTP push site if that helps?  I'd like to run through your image

BTW, the only way meta-oe could be causing problems would be if you are
using some recipe from it.  If you build exactly 'core-image-minimal' with
no extra packages, does it work for you?
