As far as I remember, you are having problems with rootfs images that generate 
an entire SD card disk image with multiple partitions, e.g. Cloud9 image. 
There are known issues with the tools used to do that, like sometimes fdisk 
not making the correct MBR and partition table that BootROM can boot from. So 
far it seems to depend on the host distro and their tools. This area still 
needs further investigation and probably the use of different tools...

But you should not be stuck on this - why don't you use the individual pieces, 
like kernel image, rootfs and load them on SD card yourself, manually? Try 
working around the issue...
