**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Aug 16 02:59:58 2014 Aug 16 09:30:11 perhaps somebody here knows what's going on. I can build and boot core-image-base just fine. but core-image-x11 doesn't boot successfully. instead, it stops with this error: "sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device" Aug 16 12:51:37 I think I found the problem. /sbin/init exists in core-image-base , but not in core-image-x11 Aug 16 12:54:18 the log.do_rootfs confirms this. no mention of sysvinit in the core-image-x11 log Aug 16 18:04:02 dv_: hmm, whats your distro ? Aug 16 18:05:10 khem: I think it works now. as it turns out, one hard drive here had data corruptions Aug 16 18:05:41 I rebuilt everything with the exact same layers configuration and the images work Aug 16 18:05:50 *rebuilt on another hard disk Aug 16 18:06:11 OK good Aug 16 18:06:29 oh, right, need to say this in the mailing list **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Aug 17 02:59:58 2014
