Description Ke Zou 2015-01-22 03:01:02 UTC 
build appliance path:
http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/releases/yocto-1.8_M2.rc1/build-appliance/
test step:
Download build appliance image from location above to a linux host
(in my case it's UBUNTU14 x86-64 host)
Boot the image in VMWare Player
Build qemuarm core-image-minimal
Click "run image" button, Or using terminal to run image under
....poky/build/tmp/deploy/images/qemuarm
Command: runqemu qemuarm

Here's the error log:
sh-4.3$ runqemu qemuarm

TUN control device /dev/net/tun is unavaliable; you may need to enable tun

Investigation started.
Comment 2 Yi Zhao 2015-01-28 05:39:41 UTC 
I think this bug related with bug 7238 comment 3

The modules.dep is empty in BA, and there is no /dev/net/tun device. After I ran "depmod -a" and reboot. the /dev/net/tun is created.
Comment 3 Cristian Iorga 2015-01-28 15:11:59 UTC 
Initial version of the fix:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=ross/mut&id=ec90b364460fa63ebe7ac20bf77c581be9bf6dad

Integration is needed, after that, a valid revision of BA's poky needs to be added to BA recipe.

This fixes a number of depmod related issue
