[yocto] [meta-intel]:Quark not accepting "root" username at login prompt

[shubham.kumar4 at wipro.com]

Hi Maciej,


I did "bitbake -r core-image-sato" and redirected the output to a file. From that I found that IMAGE_FEATURES is assigned in image.bblass. A few of the contents in the file were as follows:-

# IMAGE_FEATURES may contain any available package group
IMAGE_FEATURES ?= ""
IMAGE_FEATURES[type] = "list"
IMAGE_FEATURES[validitems] += "debug-tweaks read-only-rootfs empty-root-password allow-empty-password post-install-logging"

I thought of modifying the last entry and made it as follows:-

IMAGE_FEATURES[validitems] += "debug-tweaks read-only-rootfs"

Then I rebuilt the images using "bitbake core-image-sato" and then wic tool.But still same issue persists.The Galileo is booting , but not accepting "root"  as username and again asking for password.


.
.
.
I also checked for IMAGE_ROOTFS in "image.bbclass" file and got the path to the rootfs as follows:-
IMAGE_ROOTFS="/home/yogesh/myYocto/poky/final_build/tmp/work/intel_quark-poky-linux/core-image-sato/1.0-r0/rootfs"

In etc/shadow, proper entry is present with ----  root:*:16834:0:99999:7:::

Thanks for your co-operation, Maciej. Looking forward to reaolving this issue asap.


Thanks,
Shubham_K

Try running bitbake -e <yourimagename> and check the value of
IMAGE_FEATURES (and where it gets assigned).

You may also want to check if /etc/shadow in the rootfs contains proper
entry. It should look like this:

       root:*:16834:0:99999:7:::

When inspecting the output of bitbake -e, look for IMAGE_ROOTFS, this
will point to the location of the rootfs for your image.
