Dongxiao,

It seems that the igep machines have been moved to meta-extras now, 
which is the place for machines that are being depreciated.  If the bug
is just against igep then we can close this, if there is a more general 
situation, then firmware files that are required to boot need to be 
moved to the MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRECOMMEDS as that would be the 
right place.

If you want to fix the meta-extra/igep you can add the 
MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RRCOOMENTS instead of MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMEDS?


Sau!
