I am using the kirkstone yocto build to build a firmware image that has a
kernel with initramfs, and a ext4 root file system on an emmc partition.
After booting up the kernel doesn't mount the device passed to the kernel as
the "root=" parameter and doesn't switch_root, it just mounts everything to ram.
In my initramfs image recipe I have set:
PACKAGE_INSTALL = "util-linux udev busybox base-passwd
${VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_base-utils} ${VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager}
${ROOTFS_BOOTSTRAP_INSTALL}"
and I was under the impression that the ${ROOTFS_BOOTSTRAP_INSTALL} should
handle the switch_root portion of the boot after the initramfs loads, but that
is not happening.
Is there a different package I need to add to the PACKAGE_INSTALL to allow the
real root partition to be mounted, and switch_root to occur?
