Description Jianxun Zhang 2017-04-14 22:49:07 UTC
I have a newer skylake NUC which has two NVM-based SSD. The installation from a hddimg failed on these devices because the new "nvme..." device names is not supported. The installer failed with wrong partition nodes as a result.

Talked with Cal, we think one of the several commits of init-install-efi in poky (85c9b9) should be the fix. These commits need to be ported to the installer script in meta-intel as well.

I don't think the NUC 6 has nvme block devices, please contact me once BSP team need a target to test.
