Hello folks!
I have the following problem/question.
1) I built a standard .hddimg core-image-sato genericx86 on
ubuntu 14.10
2) Afterwards, this .hddimg was deployed to USB device
(USB-ZIP method)
3) Tried to boot Atom PC from the USB Device -> ERROR:
cound not found ramdisk
so initrd is trying to find /dev/ram0 which does not
exist in the image. I checked rootfs and there is nothing
under
../poky/build/tmp/work/genericx86-poky-linux/core-image-sato/1.0-r0/rootfs/dev
I googled this up and there is a thread telling to check the
.config file for CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM settings.
I have the following entries in:
../poky/build/tmp/work/genericx86-poky-linux/linux-yocto/3.10.35+gitAUTOINC+7df9ef8ee4_2ee37bfe73-r0/linux-genericx86-standard-build/.config
...
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=16
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE=4096
...
I also bitbake core-image-sato -c cleansstate
twice already.
I also bitbake core-image-sato -c menuconfig once
more and afterwards bitbake linux-yocto again.
I also tried IRC channels, but no answer so far...
Can anyone help me? How can i force bitbake to create
/dev/ram0 under rootfs?
Or maybe there is another trick to boot the image from
USB?
best regards
