Hello,

I have tried to specify root=UUID=<uuid_value> but that didn't work either.

VGA support -- I think it is enabled but not 100% sure. Which settings
should I check?

Can I find a step-by-step guide somewhere? As I said I am starting from the
default
ptxdist configuration for the "Generic" BSP (got it working in QEmu), then
enabled grub
and the grub options I stated in my mail, but I cannot get the target to
boot.

I may be missing something obvious but don't know where to look next.

Regards,
Stella
