I’m trying to port Ubuntu touch for Moto G 2014 (XT1068)

I'm in the end step of booting, see this :

[ 7.433841,1] initrd: mounting /dev/disk/by-partlabel/boot as /root/android//boot
[ 7.454993,3] initrd: checking mount label recovery
[ 7.457615,0] initrd: mounting /dev/disk/by-partlabel/recovery as /root/android//recovery

At this point the system try to mount system.img
But after that the system crash

We haven't had anyone try to run the system like that, and it would probably be much harder than you think. See, Ubuntu Touch uses Upstart rather than Android's init.rc. I'm also not sure how you'd get Android to give display control to Mir... I just don't have that in-depth of knowledge of the system.

You're saying that you're having a boot-loop very early in the system startup? If so, it's very possible that the issue is a kernel panic. What device are you trying to port to, and what Android version and Kernel version did you start with?

can I flip everything so instead of running android ramdisk into lxc , can I run ubuntu-phone itself into one of those container so what i am going to do .. start booting off android ramdisk then i mount ubuntu.img into its place then i start ubuntu-phone into lxc ....... if that is possible somehow . where is ubuntu-phone init file that starts the system it self ?
I want to clear something out too ,, the reason why I want to do this , is because when I try to boot the phone it just turns off (I use ubuntu boot image ) .
Thanks

Have look at this page for an understanding what is happening:

one more thing , I've studied the scripts in boot.img to try to figure out what is going on in boot precess and I found out that it mounts some partitions then ubuntu.img after that it mounts android ramdisk which should start all important android services so what should after that ? what is the responsible thing to start up ubuntu-touch system ? is that a service , shell script or what ?

If you execute this

ubuntu-device-flash -v --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/devel_rc-proposed –device=hammerhead --download-only

Then look in

~/.cache/ubuntuimages/pool

You will find among other files, this one

59147132 Dec 21 18:57 device-1343cffe4d2fe5b529e198a4182e1b20de176d284b1d340f5b44f3ac25896e79.tar.xz

If you then extract you will find two directories labeled partition with boot.img and recovery.img within and another directory labeled system.
