Description Stoicescu Cornel 2012-08-29 14:46:09 UTC

Info: When booting an image obtained by downloading and copying an .ext3 file from autobuilder, revision 20120824-1, the user gets a "corrupt kernel image" error.

Steps to reproduce:
1) download the core-image-sato or core-image-sato-sdk .ext3 image from http://autobuilder03.jf.intel.com/pub/nightly-meta-intel/20120824-1/machines/n450/
2) copy the file to an USB (ex: `dd if=core-image-sato-sdk-n450.hddimg of=/dev/sdb`)
3)attach the USB device to the n450 board
4)boot the n450 board
5)when prompted for an image write "vmlinuz" and press enter
6)notice "corrupt kernel image" error

Expected result: n450 board should boot the image on the USB drive

edid: the image used was not .ext3 but .hddimg

Here are the md5sum, can you confirm your md5sum, please confirm yours are not corrupt first

Also, do you have local build you can verify that it boots from a local build with the same git hash, this way we can confirm if the issue is Autobuilder or core system.

The following images ware tested and they boot:

d48321769553ec3c78ef21afc196e10a  core-image-sato-n450.hddimg

The following images ware tested and did not boot:

bad2332ccae4ba3a6d4d590f2901d412  core-image-sato-sdk-n450-20120824220527.hddimg
9c0fcaae5526c32f4d3059f07bbd69f7  core-image-sato-sdk-n450.hddimg


Following the info on autobuilder report from 24 August, I tried to build my own images using revision 86a6410fcbfb43e74aa1c9c995a21129d8434f75 but right at the start I get this error: "ERROR: Unable to parse conf/bitbake.conf: ParseError at /home/user/Yocto/meta-intel/meta-n450/conf/machine/n450.conf:10: Could not include required file conf/machine/include/ia32-base.inc".

Notice that when building with latest revision (bb0aab79e488a99cb1b43f72f0e8ddbe39d97519) the error above is not present.

Comment 4 Darren Hart 2012-10-08 18:08:41 UTC

Is this now resolved?

Comment 5 Stoicescu Cornel 2012-10-09 07:32:13 UTC

I've been booting n450 successfully for some time now. I think it's fixed.

Comment 6 Darren Hart 2012-10-09 16:14:52 UTC

Thanks, closing it out. Please re-open if this reappears.

Comment 7 Stoicescu Cornel 2012-10-10 08:25:44 UTC

Verified in master, commit: 04232f5908d4a3116589193fa5f1ff526bdedacc. Image core-image-sato-sdk-n450.hddimg boots with no issues.
