Description Jose Perez C 2016-09-15 15:20:20 UTC 
STATUS: IDLE
BUILD: 2.2 M3: 2679a347c576f5411fbe802d2f6201c94036ecb2
ENVIRONMENT: qemu-x86
STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 

1.  Download: core-image-sato-sdk-qemux86.ext4
              core-image-sato-sdk-qemux86.manifest
              core-image-sato-sdk-qemux86.qemuboot.conf
              bzImage-qemux86.bin   
              from http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/releases/yocto-2.2_M3.rc1/machines/qemu/qemux86/

2. place those files under build/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86

3. runqemu qmeux86

EXPECTED OUTCOME:   qemu start runnig 

ACTUAL OUTCOME: 

Exception: KERNEL poky/build/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86/bzImage not found
Exception: Failed to find rootfs: poky/build/tmp/deploy/images/qemux86/core-image-sato-sdk-qemux86-20160909112148*.ext4


Note: 
In the conf file values are set as follows:

image_name = core-image-sato-qemux86-20160909135113
qb_default_kernel = bzImage
Comment 1 Joshua Lock 2016-09-15 15:48:08 UTC 
Downloading the symlinked file names to test against, rather than those with the DATETIME stamp in, is undoubtedly part of the issue. However the qb_default_kernel value is incorrect as it's pointing to a symlink whereas it should be pointing at the full kernel filename.
Comment 2 Joshua Lock 2016-09-15 15:59:49 UTC 
To be clear the bug here is in qemuboot.conf and the value it assigns to QB_DEFAULT_KERNEL:

QB_DEFAULT_KERNEL ?= "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}"
Comment 4 Joshua Lock 2016-09-20 15:01:42 UTC 
Fix merged to OE-Core & Poky master:

Verified with commit 4a7eb4b92f32c17abd1111246b1acb9ad3daa355 and is working correctly.
