When I test world build with qemux86-64, I find that grub will be skipped, which cause initramfs-live-install_1.0.bb not buildable.

Error message as below:

Comment 1 Darren Hart 2011-09-01 14:34:30 UTC

We didn't used to have live images for qemu at all. Is this now a concern?

Comment 2 Darren Hart 2011-09-01 14:35:29 UTC

Or is this possibly an artifact of eliminating the live image type?

Comment 3 Lianhao Lu 2011-09-04 22:27:40 UTC

It is because the grub 0.97 in oe-core doesn't support x86-64 target. Maybe for x86_64 taret, the initramfs-live-install should grub2 which is not in the oe-core yet.

Comment 4 Darren Hart 2011-09-06 09:20:55 UTC

We've discussed moving the grub 2 recipe from meta-intel to oe-core. I have no objection.

Comment 5 Lianhao Lu 2011-09-06 22:52:00 UTC

Before we move the grub2 from meta-intel to meta, please use the following patch to keep initramfs-live-install consistent with grub1.

Comment 6 Lianhao Lu 2011-09-07 20:24:23 UTC

Fixed in http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=dc3a8274c7e935fa564eea142d2535c9bcf2b272.

Removed the x86_64 from COMPATIBLE_LIST for initramfs-live-install to be consistent with grub 0.97.

Darren proposed a plan to move grub2 and corresponding initramfs-live-install which support x86-64 target from meta-intel to oecore.

Comment 7 Tom Zanussi 2011-09-08 15:43:46 UTC

oe-core commit dc3a8274c7e935fa564eea142d2535c9bcf2b272 for YOCTO #1428
broke meta-intel x86_64 builds:

NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies
ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'initramfs-live-install' (but /usr/local/src/yocto/sugarbay/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal-initramfs.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
ERROR: initramfs-live-install was skipped: incompatible with host x86_64-poky-linux

A patchset to restore the build has been sent out for review.

Build and install-tested on sugarbay and crownbay.

Comment 8 Tom Zanussi 2011-09-15 06:57:41 UTC

Fixed by moving grub2 and initramfs-live-install from meta-intel to oe-core:
