Hello,

poky hash: 062678c4ab88fa94ed38efa6520c3b4e2d88ca73

When trying to build an image with linux-dummy kernel, the following error occurs:

cosscat@ubnt:/media/poky/3poky/1build$ bitbake core-image-minimal

I have reproducd this bug with
poky eb4a134a60e3ac26a48379675ad6346a44010339 (fido) 
and 
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-dummy"

and verified that the fix posted by Saul Wold
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-June/106438.html 
resolves it. Thanks!

Hi,

I build a core-image-minimal again and followed the comment #2 indications. It works. Awaiting for patch to be merged in poky.

Hi,

Just checked with latest master. Builds just fine now.
Marking as verified.
