Hi Rick,

>> What happens if you use core-image-minimal-initramfs for INITRAMFS_IMAGE? 

I just tried that and Yocto complains with Nothing PROVIDES 
'core-image-minimal-initramfs'

I am not sure that Yocto should give a damn about what I am trying to put into 
my initramfs, if I am stupid enough to include a 100G image into my initramfs, 
it is my problem, not Yocto's! If I am stupid enough to do that, knowing that I 
only have 256M RAM, I should be the one bitten!

I have tried doing the same thing with a special reduced filesystem for our 
update software (which is about 4M, by the way), and I get the same error with 
(Unexpected end of input), so I do not believe for a moment it is the size of 
the initramfs. I suspect something in the kernel.bbclass, but for the life of 
me I cannot see why it would fail. It should just WORK!
