Hi Praveen,
I can recreate the same failure you are seeing. Something is broken in the linaro-media-create that is being installed with:
sudo apt-get install linaro-image-tools ...
The first thing I see is the hwpack isn't installing correctly and so probably the rootfs isn't installing either.
Using an older branch of linaro-media-create I was able to create a bootable system:
bzr branch lp:linaro-image-tools -r 169
Also, the vexpress is usually installed to 2 devices. The boot system to the SD card and rootfs on a USB device. The rootfs on an SD card is really slow.

Hi Guilherme,
With headless build image I am still getting same errors as before with missing u-boot.bin. Detailed command log is here-->http://pastebin.com/ygRQRGe2
I don't see anything suspicious there, and I was able to create an image using the alip tarball. However, I'm using the latest linaro-media-create from lp:linaro-image-tools. Can you give that a try? https://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/MilestoneBuilds has the instructions

Hi, I am trying to create boot images for vexpress platform following instructions mentioned here https://wiki.linaro.org/Releases/MilestoneBuilds.
Daily Build & HwPack Images used:
· http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/headless/alpha-1/linaro-natty-h...
· http://releases.linaro.org/platform/linaro-n/hwpacks/alpha-1/vexpress/201012...
I was able to successfully create an image (although I can't boot it as I don't have a vexpress board) using the two files above.
I am getting errors while installing images on SD card when I tried following command:
sudo linaro-media-create --rootfs ext3 --mmc /dev/sdb --dev vexpress --binary linaro-natty-alip-tar-20101202-1.tar.gz --hwpack hwpack_linaro-vexpress_20101201-1_armel_supported.tar.gz
Oh, here you're using the alip tarball instead of the headless one that you listed above. I'm downloading it now and will try to create an image using the same command as you did.
tar: binary/usr/lib/u-boot/ca9x4_ct_vxp/u-boot.bin: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Is there any chance there were other errors higher up? It'd be nice if you could pastebin them.
I am not sure whether I am using right build images, can anyone point me to the working build images for vexpress platform.
The tarballs you used should've worked, I think.
