Description Marco Cavallini 2012-05-21 14:07:53 UTC 
yocto-7-denzil - bitbake core-image-sato
BB_VERSION        = "1.15.1"
TARGET_ARCH       = "i586"
TARGET_OS         = "linux"
MACHINE           = "atom-pc"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.2"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "m32 core2"
TARGET_FPU        = ""
meta
meta-yocto        = "<unknown>:<unknown>"

The final image  core-image-sato-atom-pc.hddimg doesn't run on a PC with Atom N550. Graphics doesn't start and the console mode prompt asks me a user but using root with no password doesn't work.
Then I modified meta-yocto/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/atom-pc/xorg.conf setting VESA. Now yocto & sato booted on the system.

This is an atom-pc netbook bug.  I don't have netbook hardware, so will either need to get hardware, or the bug should be assigned to the atom-pc maintainer.
Comment 2 Darren Hart 2012-06-05 20:28:18 UTC 
As I don't have an N550, can you provide the output of lspci on this device?
Comment 3 Darren Hart 2012-06-05 20:29:58 UTC 
To build with login support, you will need to ensure you build with EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES += "debug-tweaks". That will allow you login with "root" and no password.

The output of Xorg.log with the failed X start would be of use as well.

Moving to 1.3 since there has been no feedback from the reporter. We should consider closing if no reply soon.

Richard,
Should we close the bug?

Alex.
