Create a new intel-x86-64 bsp "myintelbsp" 2. Added meta-intel and the new bsp into bblayers.conf 3. bitbake core-image-sato, it will generate a "hddimg" image 4. burn the image to a usb disk. "dd if=core-image-sato-myintelbsp-20120317164555.hddimg of=/dev/sdb" 5. use the usb disk to boot up a x86-64 bit intel PC. The X could not be started. It has below error messages: Start XServer mkdir: can't create directory '/var/lib/dropbear': Read-only file system ... Staring Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon ..fail! Many services could not be started because "Read-only file system" I found Ross Burton committed a new patch: "Revert "initrdscripts: mount / as read-only when live-booting"", maybe this could fix this issue. But the commit did not merge to master branch now. Thanks. 35114 1 ross.burton 2013-07-29 14:45:57 +0000 Revert is now in master.
