[yocto] Problem with own kernel recipe on Dora

[Richard Leitner - SKIDATA]

Hi Yocto-Community,
as the subject already says I've a problem with my kernel recipe after the "migration" from the Dylan to the Dora (10.0.1) branch.
I've tried the 10.0.1 release tag as well as the current dora master (50e9ccb2aff7b9f9dca4fda99a6832c60f64de3b).

The kernel recipe I'm using is derived from the skeleton:
DESCRIPTION = "Linux Kernel"
SECTION = "kernel"
LICENSE = "GPLv2"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=d7810fab7487fb0aad327b76f1be7cd7"
inherit kernel
KSRC = "/home/leri/VCS/git/linux"
KBRANCH = "master"
SRC_URI = "git://${KSRC};protocol=file;branch=${KBRANCH};name=kernel;nocheckout=1"
SRCREV = "2014_03_07"
PR = "sd_15.2"
LINUX_VERSION = "${PV}"
LINUX_VERSION_EXTENSION = "-${PR}+${SRCREV}"
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "skidata-harmony|smartcpu"
KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "uImage"
SRC_URI += "file://defconfig"
require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc


This recipe was working well with the Dylan branch and following changes:
-SRC_URI = "git://${KSRC};protocol=file;branch=${KBRANCH};name=kernel;nocheckout=1"
+SRC_URI = "git://${KSRC};protocol=file;branch=${KBRANCH};name=kernel"
+S = "${WORKDIR}/git"


When compiled with the dora branch the kernel hangs at "Starting kernel..." and doesn't start:
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 00000000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-3.1.10-sd_15.2
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    3181616 Bytes = 3 MiB
   Load Address: 00008000
   Entry Point:  00008000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Loading Kernel Image ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...


I've already looked through the migration notes in the manual but I'm unable to find any hints...
Are there any ideas why the kernel doesn't start with the Dora branch?

Thank you for your help!

best regards,
Richard
