[yocto] This one can't be me...

The clean build didn't solve the problem. Here's what I did:

Re-downloaded and extracted poky-danny-8.0 and meta-cedartrail-danny-8.0.0
from the Yocto web site into a new directory.

In a new terminal window, ran oe-init-build-env to create the empty build
directory and default config files.

Moved the old downloads directory into the new build tree.

Added the meta-intel and meta-intel/meta-cedartrail layers to bblayers.conf,
after the other layers.

Inserted the following two lines at the beginning of local.conf:

	MACHINE ?= "cedartrail-nopvr"
	BBMASK = "meta-oe/recipes-support/guile"

The last line was a necessary fix for a bug that occurs when I add Samba
from OpenEmbedded, but since that tree of metadata isn't currently included,
this should match nothing and change nothing.

The build was successful, although I still get those NOTEs about "preferred
version 3.4% of linux-yocto not available". Yet it still panics on boot, for
lack of a ram drive.

The only possible corruption at my end, then, is in my downloads.
