[oe-users] no signs of kernel in opie-image

[Michal Panczyk]

I am building image for familiar. There is no kernel stuff at all in
the image - the zImage in the boot dir is missing as well all the
modules (/lib/modules). I heve checked the
Angstrom-gpe-image-test-20061019-h2200.rootfs.tar.bz2 (I can not find
the source where I found it - somewhere in the OE people dirs ....)
and this one has all the needed files.

When You mentioned about the hx4700 and a bb file did You mean these
lines in the bb "ALLOW_EMPTY_hx4700 = 1"   ?

I am not sure if You would be able to build the amstronng opie image- see
http://www.openembedded.org/viewmtn/revision.psp?id=e0255e8055b52314c90b557462593256196bdc88
(in short: "Changelog	angstrom: nobody wants to support either an
opie-based image nor opie itself for angstrom, so lets remove the opie
bits and select appropriate defaults for xine and sdl" ).

I am attaching my config.
