I added Paul to the CC list.  I grepped my poky directory for MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME and it shows it getting set in the kernel.bbclass file:

meta/classes/kernel.bbclass:MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME ?= "modules-${PKGE}-${PKGV}-${PKGR}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}"

Grepped KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME and it is also set in the kernel.bbclass files:

meta/classes/kernel.bbclass:KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME ?= "${KERNEL_IMAGETYPE}-${PKGE}-${PKGV}-${PKGR}-${MACHINE}-${DATETIME}"

Beyond I guess the obvious for these variables, is there any further information one would want to know?

Thanks, 
Scott

I think that is fine for starter. The IMAGE_NAME variable is also concise: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/ref-manual/ref-manual.html

Hi, 

See http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-MODULE_IMAGE_BASE_NAME and http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE_NAME for the added variables. 

As part of the fix, I also documented PKGE, PKGV, and PKGR as they appear as part of the default value for the *_BASE_NAME variables.  PKG was thrown in there as well.

Please check these over and let me know of any changes.

Thanks, 
Scott

Looks good to me, thanks!

Thanks for the quick review Laszlo.  I will mark this RESOLVED.
