Hi!<br /><br />In the systemd-systemctl there is a <strong>systemctl</strong> script used for some configuration/settings for the systemd services (e.g. enabling services).<br /><br />In this script if we call the <strong>preset_all</strong> command, it will create an empty <em>/etc/machine-id</em> file. This is required on read-only <em>/etc</em> folder, otherwise the systemd will fail to boot. However on read-write /etc folder this file is still created, which prevents systemd to satisfy the ConditionFirstBoot condition. This is used in systemd services, for example for systemd-firstboot, where you can configure the root password, localization, hostname, etc.<br /><br />The preset_all command is triggered from the <em>image.bbclass</em> file. A quick solution in my case was to add a task in my own layer, which deletes the <em>/etc/machine-id</em> file, but I think it would be great, to prevent others from the headache it can cause to investigate/fix this.<br /><br />I attached the patch file about my proposed solution.<br /><br />Waiting for you reply soon,<br />David
