If I add that line, (

IMAGE_FSTYPES = "vmdk"
), to my local.conf, I get:

   rich@burgess> time bitbake core-image-minimal
   ERROR:  OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential
   misconfiguration.
        Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable
   the checker (see sanity.conf).
        Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

        Error, IMAGE_FSTYPES vmdk and live can't be built together

Building yocto-2.0 for genericx86-64.  What am I doing wrong?

just use IMAGE_FSTYPES = "vmdk" if you plan to use virtualbox and need
a raw image.

I'd like to to some testing that qemu just doesn't seem up to

added these lines to local.conf:
   IMAGE_FSTYPES_genericx86 += "live"
   NOISO_genericx86 = "0"

When I try to build core-image-base I get this error:

I'm using a recent Poky checkout (d53413d3a8444c38a83ea37867c8af7754d8e702)

Am I just doing something wrong here? I was following this section of the
mega-manual:

   26.56. image-live.bbclass¶

   The image-live class supports building "live" images.

   Normally, you do not use this class directly. Instead, you add "live" to
IMAGE_FSTYPES.
   For example, if you were building an ISO image, you would add "live" to
IMAGE_FSTYPES,
   set the NOISO variable to "0" and the build system would use the
image-live class to
   build the ISO image.

I don't have any available hardware for this testing, so I thought
I'd use VirtualBox.  Is this a reasonable approach?  I want to use
a live ISO so I get a writable file system.  I tried just using the
.hddimage but that doesn't boot with VirtualBox :-(

To be clear, along with the additions above in local.conf, I tried:
   $ MACHINE=genericx86 bitbake core-image-base

Thanks for any ideas
