ERROR:  Poky's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration.
    Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf).
    Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

    /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr is not >= 65536. This will cause problems with qemu so please fix the value (as root).

To fix this in later reboots, set vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536 in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Comment 1 Saul Wold 2011-03-09 19:34:43 UTC 
A change was made to the sanity checker since Qemu was fixed to not have to have the mmap_min_addr set to zero.  The auto builder was not changed yet.  This is
fixed on the autobuilder now
