The bitbake almost finished when I got an error from fso-console-image.bb that "cannot satisfy the following dependencies for task-fso-compliance: connman-plugin-udhcp". OK, I edited the recipe for the task-fso-compliance recipe and deactivated this plugin (I don't plan to use any dhcp clients at all), then removed all traces of "task-fso-compliance" to force a complete rebuild of this and restarted bitbake. The build was successful this time. 2. I then proceeded to unpack the newly-created "fso-console-image-htcdream.tar" (the phone rootfs) into my newly-formatted smartcard (a single ext3 partition) and then did the same with "modules-2.6.32-*.tar" (the kernel modules). I then used fastboot and executed "fastboot boot zImage-2.6.32-*.fastboot" to load the new kernel and boot the smartphone. The phone boots up, but the only thing I am seeing is a black-and-white stripes boot up screen (this is a splash image embedded into the kernel image) and then nothing happens at all. I then tried passing various combinations of the kernel command line parameters via fastboot: console=tty1 no_console_suspend=1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=8 fbcon=rotate:1 console=tty0 no_console_suspend=1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=8 fbcon=rotate:1 console=tty1 no_console_suspend=1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootdelay=8 fbcon=rotate:1 nomodeset etc etc etc, but to no avail - nothing apart from the damned black-and-white stripes screen just sitting there! As a last resort I then did a complete rebuild (wiped out build/tmp and started from scratch with the modified recipe for task-fso-compliance to exclude the connman-plugin-udhcp plugin) and when it finished I repeated the same steps as above - nothing, exactly the same screen, NADA! If I build shr-image all is well - the black-and-white-stripes bootup screen is soon replaced by the SHR logo and then I get the SHR Desktop after a while and I have a GUI. When I try to build "console-image" (similar in many ways to fso-console-image - simple cli interface), I am stuck also at the same step as above, but with a tiny difference - the black-and-white stripes screen is replaced after a short period of time with the OpenEmbedded logo with an empty progress bar and then I am stuck at this stage - nothing happens after that at all. What am I doing wrong or am I missing something obvious here? Help is very much appreciated!
