Re: [OE-core] [PATCH] init-manager-none.inc: have no init manager

[Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com>]

Hello,

This causes the following error:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/47/builds/7035/steps/12/logs/stdio

This is the expected behaviour of the patch but doesn't fit with what
this particular build (qemuarm-oecore) is testing as we can't run
testimage without an init. I'm wondering what should be the proper
course of action here.
