Issue Booting Yocto Scarthgap (core-image-sato) Image on AIMB-288E (Intel based target board) #kirkstone #scarthgap #yocto

I am working with the AIMB-288E Intel-based board and have successfully built and booted a Yocto *Kirkstone* image (core-image-sato) and abel to get the default GUI on the screen ,hear by default we get the linux kernel version 5.15. i have used the MACHINE = "genericx86-64" in locl.conf file to build my yocto image .

However, I require the latest *Linux kernel 6.x*. so decided to build a yocto Scarthgap,

I tried to build a *Yocto Scarthgap* image (core-image-sato) with kernel 6.x and  MACHINE = "genericx86-64" in locl.conf file. The build completed successfully, but when I try to boot the target board, I encounter an issue:

* 

The system starts booting.

* 

The GRUB menu appears and stays for about 5 seconds.

* 

After selecting an option, some logs appear, but shortly after, the system *exits*.

Has anyone successfully used kernel 6.x on a similar setup? Are there any known issues or recommended configurations for enabling support on the AIMB-288E board? Whether genericx86-64 is suitable for AIMB-288E

Any guidance would be appreciated!

The recommended MACHINE for Intel hardware is one provided by
meta-intel layer. genericx86-64 is incomplete in many ways and isn't
well tested on actual hardware.

I suspect sato runs into X11 driver regressions on intel hardware.
What happens with minimal, I don't know, you need to show that too.

Note that you can try switching to different virtual terminals and see
if you can login there. Or even add an ssh server to the image and
login via that to check boot logs.

Sadly I'm out of ideas right now. Do the same images boot ok on your
laptop or some other x86 hardware?

It might be that multiple vts are not enabled.
try setting
SYSVINIT_ENABLED_GETTYS = "1 2 3 4 5 6"
in local.conf

Other option to try would be to use systemd for that use DISTRO = 
"poky-altcfg"

Hi Khem Raj,

Thank you for your response and for your helpful suggestions.

I included DISTRO = "poky-altcfg" in my configuration and built a core-image-sato image. However, when I booted it on the target board, the boot process stopped, displaying the Yocto logo and a progress bar on the screen. I waited for a while, but it did not complete.

you need to connect serial console or somehow get into the machine to
observe logs for more info
