Description Mark Hatle 2013-03-25 20:42:33 UTC 
(For 1.5)

We want to document how to generate an installer image that uses a different kernel and/or filesystem from the expected target.
Comment 1 Scott Rifenbark 2013-05-08 11:50:14 UTC 
Mark, 

I need to know more about this topic.  I am not exactly sure what an "installer image" is.  Is this basically an image you can boot and it somehow lets you configure in or interactively supply the specific kernel and/or root filesystem for a given number of different targets?

Once I understand what this is then I will probably need to work with you (or someone) to paint reasonable use scenarios, explanations, and maybe examples into a place in the YP documentation.

I am marking this bug for NEEDINFO.

Thanks, 
Scott

Moving target to 1.6.
Comment 3 Scott Rifenbark 2014-04-01 22:42:23 UTC 
Enhancement - moving to 1.7
Comment 4 Scott Rifenbark 2014-06-03 08:00:51 UTC 
Setting this to "future".
Comment 5 Richard Purdie 2014-06-04 15:44:26 UTC 
Mark, Scott needs information in order to be able to do this...
Comment 6 Stephen K Jolley 2014-06-23 18:17:12 UTC 
Still Needs Info
Comment 7 Mark Hatle 2014-07-07 17:00:43 UTC 
The installer in question is the Yocto Project installer.  I did not write the installer, I am not familiar with it's usage.

I am unable to provide more information, as I do not have it.

This should be assigned to whomever wrote the Yocto Project 'target installer'.  (I believe this is the thing that you boot to the target, run a bunch of commands and it deploys the system.)
Comment 8 Scott Rifenbark 2014-07-08 13:05:01 UTC 
Well, clearly Mark is not the person that can provide information on this.  We need to find out who is and then reassign to that person.

Moved to Unassigned so it will be triage to the right owner.

I reset the doc flag to "no" as this bug is now a duplicate.
