[oe] How to generate vmlinux kernel image

[Elvis Dowson]

Hi,
      I added the following two lines to meta-xilinx/conf/virtex5.conf to try and get it to build both a uImage an a vmlinux image. The vmlinux image is so that I can load the generated kernel into qemuppc emulator. I also want to generate the rootfs in ext3 format.

KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "uImage vmlinux"
IMAGE_FSTYPES += "ext3 tar.bz2"

However, when I run bitbake core-image-minimal, I get the following errors:

OTE: package linux-xilinx-2.6.37.1+git1+86c81ccd7c8e895904bfff95bd4f87c9615f7fba-r16: task do_install: Started

What should I do to get it to generate the vmlinux image and the rootfs in ext3 format?
