Hello all,

My Yocto build environment was working perfectly until last week when I got kernel panic caused by missing/sbin/init. When I examined the image, I found that /sbin/init is indeed absent from the root image. To troubleshoot the issue, I tried building a stock Yocto whose target platform is 64-bit machine using a  freshly installed Ubuntu 14.04 from another build machine.  Despite that, the kernel panic still occurs and that’s the main reason I’m writing here; that is to see if anyone else has the same issue. I did not make any change or any customization to local.conf aside from setting MACHINE to 64 bit and adding the following lines which enable multilib:

IMAGE_INSTALL = "lib32-connman"

require conf/multilib.conf

MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32"

DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "x86"

I would be more than happy to provide necessary diagnostic message shall you request so. Let me know if you guys are able to reproduce this issue.

Chan Kit
