Fix Version: 6.0.0.17
Severity: Severe
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Kernel
In the wr-intel-igb layer, the IGB module is disabled (# CONFIG_IGB is not set) and built separately by a new recipe (igb_5.2.9.4.bb), thus creating a new package called igb that only contains igb.ko.
We are having issues integrating this module into initramfs, so the steps should be documented in the layer README: shall we add kernel-module-igb or igb to the initramfs image recipe? What else is needed?
Add the dependency to IGB in local.conf:
IMAGE_INSTALL_INITRAMFS_append += "kernel-module-igb"
IMAGE_INSTALL_INITRAMFS_append += "igb"
The layer README does not mention how to integrate this new module into an initramfs:
$ grep -i initramfs layers/wr-intel-igb/README
# returns nothing...
So we have to guess how to do that, and my customer project fails to build:
$ cat <mylayer>/recipes-loader/images/wrlinux-image-initramfs.bbappend
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "kernel-module-igb"
