Thanks.

It had lots missing.

See attached for fixes.

With the fixes, I was able to boot an XO-1 into Ubuntu 14.04 with
LXDE.

Please read and understand the bash scripts in uxo, which do
something very similar.  You may learn some methods to use.  If
there's anything you don't understand, ask me about it.
