gumstix-console-image would need to be provided by a layer enabled in your 
configuration; apparently this image recipe comes from meta-gumstix [1], so you 
would need to have that layer cloned and its directory added to your 
conf/bblayers.conf file under your build directory for that image to be 
available.
