Hi,

I finally built the
zImage->zImage--4.19.75+git0+d573e8a79f-r0-20191026074920.bin and
zImage-initramfs ->
zImage-initramfs--4.19.75+git0+d573e8a79f-r0-20191026074920.bin based
on oe-core kernel.bbclass.

The zImage could be loaded by u-boot on RAM booting but failed at
mount rootfs which was fine as it did not bundle the rootfs. The
zImage-initramfs bundled to rootfs, but it could not be started and
stuck at u-boot Starting kernel, there was no trace of errors.

Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
=> bootz ${loadaddr} - ${fdt_addr}
Kernel image @ 0x80800000 [ 0x000000 - 0x219df80 ]
## Flattened Device Tree blob at 83000000
    Booting using the fdt blob at 0x83000000
    Using Device Tree in place at 83000000, end 83008831
ft_system_setup for mx6

Starting kernel ...

Because zImage could be started, zImage-initramfs could not, that
implies there were no issues in the u-boot, is must be something wrong
with the zImage-initramfs. Seems debug is harder, are there anyway to
extract information from zImage-initramfs to figure out what is wrong?

As an example you might want to look at my repo, I have 2 images minimal and initramfs:
https://github.com/edison-fw/meta-intel-edison/tree/master/meta-intel-edison-distro/recipes-core/images

I don't exactly know how you are doing it. But I'll try to explain what I do:
I have
1) a normal rootfs (say edison-image-minimal) and
2) a initramfs rootfs containing kernel modules needed for booting and a init script.

Initramfs is build using core-image-minimal-initramfs.bbappend. Some additional unneeded packages are pulled, and as size is restricted (10MB or so?) we remove them here.

The init script is here: https://github.com/edison-fw/meta-intel-edison/blob/master/meta-intel-edison-distro/recipes-core/initrdscripts/initramfs-framework/init

The init script loads modules, waits for the disk with the rootfs to appear and mount it. Then switchroot to it. If it doesn't appear it drops to a shell so you can investigate what's wrong.

To build everything edison-image-minimal triggers build of u-boot, kernel, rootfs, initramfs and kernel-with-built-in-initramfs.

Search for 'init' and 'live' and find the needed lines in https://github.com/edison-fw/meta-intel-edison/blob/master/meta-intel-edison-distro/recipes-core/images/edison-image-minimal.bb

Thank you.

Kind regards,

- jh
