[Kamble, Nitin A]

HI Stuart,
  Can you give these details of the issue?


  *   Build configuration: any changes done to build setup other than setting MACHINE=valleyisland-32
  *   Does this issue happen on valleyisland-64 system?
  *   Explain what do you mean by initrd was not included?
  *

You can provide these details on the bug Tom created, so that the bug keeps all the context:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6730

Thanks,
Nitin

Hi all,

I've just made a fresh Yocto/meta-intel repository and created an image based on core-image-sato for valleyisland-32. However when booting, the kernel was panicking as it could not load /initrd. Looking at the image created I found that initrd was not being included. After comparing with an older version of the repositories I had, I found that commenting out the following lines in meta-intel/conf/machine/include/meta-intel.inc solved the issue:

# include the user space intel microcode loading support in the generated images.
# MACHINE_ESSENTIAL_EXTRA_RDEPENDS_append = " intel-microcode iucode-tool"

# For the early boot time kernel microcode loading support,
# merge the microcode data in the final initrd image.
# INITRD_prepend = "${DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE}/microcode.cpio "

I don't know anything bout intel microcode, and hence would it be possible to explain/point me to some place that has more information about the microcode and how to configure it to create the initrd correctly?

Best Regards,
Stuart
