Kernel/bootwrapper are broken preventing OE images to boot

also same boot test failure with the builds:

 http://snapshots.linaro.org/openembedded/pre-built/vexpress64/204

It is kernel problem - assigning to John.

I need a kernel (repo and branch), kernel config and boot wrapper combination that is known to work by hand which I incorporate that into the ci job.

Kernel/Bootwrapper packaging issue have been fixed by John. Re-assign to Marcin. for investigation.

Latest bootwrapper is fine - works with 3.7 kernel.

    Update README

    Change the DT files that are required as they have been re-named in
    the kernel.

Can we bump bootwrapper to latest from Catalin?

I used same kernel source, same kernel config, same cross toolchain and it fail to boot with initial version of bootwrapper (CI uses it) and boots with latest one.

I've tested both Ryan's tree and Catalin's tree, same result: linux-linaro doesn't boot.
John has copied the vexpress64-3.7cfg to vexpress64.cfg. The only difference is the bootwrapper.
It's trivial to change from one to the other in the CI job, or even build locally.

As discussed on IRC, I've updated my tree to make the master branch match Catalin's tree.

The "ubuntu" branch is the first commit of Catalin's tree.

The "android" branch is a clone of Zach's Android boot-wrapper tree

And the "armlt" branch is the one I've used and know to be good. It's basically the same as Zach's.

Tixy fixed the issue: http://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=landing-teams/working/arm/kernel.git;a=commit;h=2548dfde1ad2a2266b0c389a65a5cfe4ae1ce22a

Verified and works for me too :)

The following build contains the fix:
http://snapshots.linaro.org/openembedded/pre-built/vexpress64/232

However, we don't get shell prompt as confirmed by LAVA.
With the same kernel/bootwrapper but with an older rootfs (build#152), I have the shell.

Considering this bug fixed. I'm opening another one for the above issue.

hi fathi,
tested manually with the image
http://snapshots.linaro.org/openembedded/pre-built/vexpress64/232

din not get the shell prompt , it is conformed.

please subscribed me into the new bug.

will dig into that.

OK, I reproduced broken build on my system.
