I'm using Fido.

The file
"/home/pauld/yocto-fido/build/tmp/work-shared/chroma-bsp/kernel-source/.me
ta/top_tgt" contains
"/home/pauld/yocto-fido/build/tmp/work-shared/chroma-bsp/kernel-source/.me
ta/cfg/scratch/obj/home/pauld/yocto-fido/meta-chroma-bsp/recipes-kernel/li
nux/files/chroma-bsp-preempt-rt.scc". That referenced folder includes a
copy of all the .scc and .cfg files I mentioned before. I guess that means
that they are in fact being used.

Does that mean that this warning message is spurious, and can be ignored?
My kernel is hanging during the boot at this point, but I suspect my real
problem is elsewhere.

Thanks so much for your time helping me to figure this out.
