just noticed the following -- here's snippets from kernel.bbclass: ... snip ... INITRAMFS_TASK ?= "" ... snip ... # NOTE: setting INITRAMFS_TASK is for backward compatibility # The preferred method is to set INITRAMFS_IMAGE, because # this INITRAMFS_TASK has circular dependency problems # if the initramfs requires kernel modules image_task = d.getVar('INITRAMFS_TASK', True) if image_task: d.appendVarFlag('do_configure', 'depends', ' ${INITRAMFS_TASK}') ... snip ... if [ "$use_alternate_initrd" = "" ] && [ "${INITRAMFS_TASK}" != "" ] ; then # The old style way of copying an prebuilt image and building it # is turned on via INTIRAMFS_TASK != "" ... snip ...
i have about a dozen layers checked out and the only other place i see that variable used is: meta-oe/meta-initramfs/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto-tiny-kexecboot_3.10.bb: INITRAMFS_TASK = "${INITRAMFS_IMAGE}:do_rootfs" so has INITRAMFS_TASK been obsoleted by INITRAMFS_IMAGE? or is it still worth hanging onto? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
