Hi Randolph,

Thanks for the new version.

It looks like add_emptty_inittab is failing in some configurations:

ERROR: core-image-full-cmdline-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Execution of '/srv/pokybuild/yocto-worker/qemux86-alt/build/build/tmp/work/qemux86-poky-linux/core-image-full-cmdline/1.0/temp/run.add_emptty_inittab.2108438' failed with exit code 1

I don't see more context in the log, sorry.

Interestingly it's failing on a lot of builds but not all. I was not
able to identify what's the pattern so far, but you can have a look at
the whole a-full build. I will let it finish so maybe it will provide a
better overview of the situation.
