Hi, I am trying to build initramfs using the instruction from Initramfs and tmpfs but I end up with errors.
build@build:~/production/oe-core2.6.1/build$ bitbake -v core-image-minimal-initramfs

build@build:~/production/oe-core2.6.1/build$
So I found a patch to include host in …/layers/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal-initramfs.bb
Use the same restriction as initramfs-live-install
COMPATIBLE_HOST = "(i.86|x86_64).*-linux"
And then, it throws new error as in the following,

Any idea?
