Unfortunately, the other qemu machiens, including x86*, fail to pull the kernel modules into the image. If you are trying to test something that relies on them, and have specifically built core-image-base or core-image-sato in order to make sure they are there; that would cause a great deal of confusion. The inclusion of kernel-modules should be consistent. My vote would be to add the MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS = " kernel-modules" across the board. 78357 1 brian.avery 2017-11-27 19:08:43 +0000 +cal,todor 78423 2 ross.burton 2017-11-30 16:16:58 +0000 I think Randy changed the milestone by mistake 78432 3 randy.macleod 2017-11-30 16:56:40 +0000 Indeed.

So: 1) use git blame to identify if there is a good reason qemumips pulls in every module by recommending kernel-modules, and if it is for a specific module then make that a recommends or depends as appropriate 2) Remove kernel-module from recommends and verify images still work. 81221 6 maxin.john 2018-08-02 10:22:47 +0000 https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=fae1ccdcf5696770774679bcbedd083ad777b039
