So yes this is OE-classic.

For building SHR you should follow SHR instructions:
http://wiki.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Building%20SHR

Where are instructions for building from OE-classic as well as new
layers, but with htcdream there is problem in oe-core, see this thread:
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2011-October/010993.html

I'm not familiar with htcdream, but this looks like some problem with kernel fb 
driver, you can try to boot shr-image, setup ssh access and then
shutdown xserver (with /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop) to see if you get
console login (check inittab if it's starting getty there) and also try
other vts with chvt.

If it works you can prepare console-image with right
/etc/network/interfaces to be able to ssh in as soon as it boots and
then debug those stripes over ssh too.

Well if you can get serial console to htcdream then it would be even
easier.

This is usually used only by FSO people without R/W access to OE git to
prepare some changes.
