[yocto] Adding Gnome to X11

[Q. Gouès]

Hi,

I am trying to add gnome to my x11 image based on the recipe 
core-image-x11. I am using Poky 2.0 (Jethro).

For that, I added the following line to my recipe:

/IMAGE_INSTALL += "gnome-desktop3"/

Unfortunately I get the following error:

/switch_root: can't execute '/sbin/init': No such file or directory//
//Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100/

I tried the same thing with XFCE (I am trying to add a window manager to 
my image) and I got the same results.

After taking a look at the rootfs in the iso file, I can notice that the 
file '/sbin/init' is indeed missing. And it's not the only file missing 
! The rootfs went from ~420Mo to ~220Mo and the list of files present in 
the rootfs went from:

/badblocks//
//blkid -> /bin/busybox.nosuid//
//bootlogd//
//debugfs//

//udhcpc -> /bin/busybox.nosuid//
//vigr -> /sbin/vigr.shadow//
//vigr.shadow -> vipw.shadow//
//vipw -> /sbin/vipw.shadow//
//vipw.shadow/

to:

/ldconfig//
//nologin//
//sulogin -> /sbin/sulogin.util-linux//
//sulogin.util-linux//
//vigr -> /sbin/vigr.shadow//
//vigr.shadow -> vipw.shadow//
//vipw -> /sbin/vipw.shadow//
//vipw.shadow/

It looks like busybox was removed as well as other packages.

Do you have any idea why all these packages have been removed ?

Thanks

Quentin
