Image installation problems after an upgrade to gatesgarth

Image installation problems after an upgrade to gatesgarth

Hi,

I have an image that was building and working fine with an older release of
Poky. The target system is genericx86-64, and I'm trying to create a boot
USB drive that installs the system on the PC it boots on.

Like I said, this was working fine before.

With gatesgarth, I'm only getting the "boot" option in grub. I have a
grub-bootconf bbappend file that sets LABELS to "install" (the only option
I want) and a couple of bbappend files modifying the init-install-efi.sh
file in initrdscripts. I can see that the grub.cfg file generated during
the build is correct (under
tmp/work/genericx86_64-poky-linux/grub-bootconf/1.00-r0/image/boot/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg)
and yet, the wic image only has the boot option.

How do I get the install grub option into the image?

The image is based on core-image-sato.

Thanks,

Ori Pessach

You can build the hddimg image by changing IMAGE_FSTYPES to live which
has the boot and install option. I think it used to be live until zeus.

If you want to use that init-install-efi script with wic, these steps
might help:
