From 490d6fbd14805b6c72b525fbe8c9c6e08d796597 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Kroon Date: Tue, 25 Dec 2018 10:20:34 +0100 Subject: initramfs-boot: create /dev/console The Yocto kernel expects a proper /dev/console to exist before running init, otherwise booting will fail with the message: Kernel panic - not syncing: /dev/console is missing or not a character device! Please ensure your rootfs is properly configured Add similar fix as was done for initramfs-framework and initramfs-live-boot in commits 0352841cd92f6316bcac092e2fff9d28c352b36b 1b64664f0c388f41084f5db6e46e3e68c53fb6d9 Signed-off-by: Jacob Kroon Signed-off-by: Ross Burton --- meta/recipes-core/initrdscripts/initramfs-boot_1.0.bb | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'meta/recipes-core') diff --git a/meta/recipes-core/initrdscripts/initramfs-boot_1.0.bb b/meta/recipes-core/initrdscripts/initramfs-boot_1.0.bb index 7ae7969f5e..29ec5ec2ff 100644 --- a/meta/recipes-core/initrdscripts/initramfs-boot_1.0.bb +++ b/meta/recipes-core/initrdscripts/initramfs-boot_1.0.bb @@ -9,8 +9,13 @@ S = "${WORKDIR}" do_install() { install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/init-boot.sh ${D}/init + + # Create device nodes expected by some kernels in initramfs + # before even executing /init. + install -d ${D}/dev + mknod -m 622 ${D}/dev/console c 5 1 } inherit allarch -FILES_${PN} += " /init " +FILES_${PN} += "/init /dev/console" -- cgit 1.2.3-korg
