I guess I have mistaken something in https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Multilib#How_to_use_it . I have simply put the line:
IMAGE_INSTALL = "lib32-connman" which turned out to be a wrong move. I'm not entirely sure of why this has worked for me for several months but that was the case and I stuck to it until this problem took me in the knee. I'm not sure if the line above is correct in its context. lib32-connman is just a package and perhaps it should have used IMAGE_INSTALL_append or IMAGE_INSTALL+= Chan Kit > -----Original Message----- > From: Smith, Virgil [mailto:virgil.sm...@flir.com] > Sent: Tuesday, April 07, 2015 1:13 AM > To: Paul Eggleton > Cc: Yu, Chan KitX; yocto@yoctoproject.org > Subject: RE: [yocto] Kernel Panic: /sbin/init not found > > > > This is not true in the general case.
