Hi Gary,

I just tried without my addional programs to build a core-image-minimal 
and it still halts on the same kernel message. Something that I forgot 
to mention the yesterday was that I have a very high debugging level 
set, here is my local conf line:

EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "debug-tweaks tools-debug tools-profile dbg-pkgs"

Which could cause other programs to be brought in?

Regards,
Jack.
