My machine config sets PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-dummy", as we currently use a monolithic out-of-tree 2.6 kernel. It's a clean fido checkout, and I tried trashing tmp and rebuilding everything to no effect. Based on http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/classes/image.bbcl ass I have worked around this by setting: USE_DEPMOD = "0" in my image configuration. This works, and allows the root file system to be built. Is it a bug that depmod is not skipped automatically when linux-dummy is specified? Am I risking death and destruction by overriding it? (We don't have any kernel modules.) Thanks, Rob Calhoun -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
