Hi Scott,
We can find INITRD, INITRD_IMAGE, LABELS in this document:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html
For example LABELS:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-LABELS
We need update all the ROOT LABELS INITRD and INITRD_IMAGE to the _VM or
_LIVE version as I sent in the email.
For ROOT, there is already ROOT_VM, but no ROOT_LIVE.
And we can also find them in documentation/ref-manual/ref-variables.xml and
documentation/ref-manual/ref-classes.xml (I assume that these xmls are the
sources of the web), for example:
$ grep INITRD documentation/* -r
documentation/ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: <glossentry
id='var-INITRD'><glossterm>INITRD</glossterm>
documentation/ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: INITRD[doc] =
"Indicates a list of filesystem images to concatenate and use as an initial RAM
disk (initrd)."
documentation/ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: The
<filename>INITRD</filename> variable is an optional
documentation/ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: <glossentry
id='var-INITRD_IMAGE'><glossterm>INITRD_IMAGE</glossterm>
documentation/ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: INITRD_IMAGE[doc] =
"When building a "live" bootable image (i.e. when IMAGE_FSTYPES contains
"live"), INITRD_IMAGE specifies the image recipe that should be built to provide
the initial RAM disk image."
documentation/ref-manual/ref-variables.xml: contains "live"),
<filename>INITRD_IMAGE</filename>
documentation/ref-manual/ref-classes.xml: <link
linkend='var-INITRD'><filename>INITRD</filename></link>:
documentation/ref-manual/ref-classes.xml: <listitem><para><link
linkend='var-INITRD'><filename>INITRD</filename></link>:

Hi Robert,
I don't quite understand this. Could you point to some areas in the manual that
are needing updated? I don't have any occurrences of ROOT_LIVE, LABELS_VM,
LABELS_LIVE, INITRD_VM, or INITRD_LIVE in the YP manual set. I guess I just
need some more explanation here on how to fix this issue in the manual.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
The LIVE (such as iso) and VM images (such as vmdk) can't use the same
settings for ROOT LABELS INITRD and INITRD_IMAGE, either of them may fail
to boot, so when the user uses one of them, they will get warnings like:
WARNING: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_bootimg: Found potential conflicted
var LABELS, please use LABELS_LIVE rather than LABELS"
We should use _LIVE or _VM version to instead of, would you please update
the manual for them ?
ROOT_VM: Boot loader's root options for vm images, e.g., root=/dev/sda2.
ROOT_LIVE: Boot loader's root options for live images, e.g., root=/dev/ram0.
LABELS_VM: Boot loader's actions for vm images, e.g., "boot".
LABELS_LIVE: Boot loader's actions for live images, e.g., "boot install".
INITRD_VM: Path to initial RAM disk (initrd) for vm images.
INITRD_LIVE: Path to initial RAM disk (initrd) for live images.
# There is no warnings when use INITRD_IMAGE, I will fix it in Yocto 2.3.
INITRD_IMAGE_VM: INITRD's image name (PN) for vm images
INITRD_IMAGE_LIVE: INITRD's image name (PN) for live images

Thanks
