This works nicely in Rocko but fails in Sumo. The patch 5493bb5b 'live-vm-common.bbclass: Don't use vmlinuz or VM_DEFAULT_KERNEL' for Sumo causes U-Boot to not find vmlinuz as the kernel in hddimg is now called bzImage. After changing the U-Boot script to load bzImage, kernel won't boot as it has no initramfs, i.e. the wrong kernel is installed. But without VM_DEFAULT_KERNEL we have no way to select which kernel gets installed. Is there any other way in Sumo to install bzImage-initramfs-edison.bin  instead of bzImage into hddimg? If not, shouldn't we revert this commit? Thanks, Ferry 81386 1 akuster 2018-08-16 14:49:05 +0000 If this issue does not exist in Master, then its possible some of Cal's InitRamFS changes to Master did not get backported to Sumo 81390 2 ferry.toth 2018-08-16 15:23:00 +0000 I think I checked and saw this is also in master. Not 1005 sure. BTW Alex Tereschenko found a workaround by replacing: VM_DEFAULT_KERNEL = "bzImage-initramfs-edison.bin" by KERNEL_IMAGETYPE_pn-edison-image = "bzImage-initramfs-edison.bin" See here: https://github.com/edison-fw/meta-intel-edison/pull/42/commits/82ebb5ddd4bb669d71aa9facfef65988b35c53af Question remains: what was the intended way to select the kernel? 83089 3 randy.macleod 2019-02-22 01:49:11 +0000 Zhe won't be able to get to this next week for M3 so I've moved it to M4. 84009 4 randy.macleod 2019-05-30 15:02:12 +0000 The workaround is the best way to handle this sort of problem. Reopen if you disagree.
