Hi Qi,

I've been able to reproduce the test failure with this branch:
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core-contrib/log/?h=mathieu/systemd-upgrade-tests

Following config in my local.conf:

---
SDKMACHINE = "x86_64"
OE_FRAGMENTS += "machine/qemuarm distro/poky-altcfg"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES ?= 'allow-empty-password empty-root-password allow-root-login'
IMAGE_CLASSES += "testimage"
---

And then just:
bitbake core-image-sato && bitbake core-image-sato:do_testimage

Hope this can help you!

Thanks,
Mathieu
