Hello,
I have just recently gotten back to creating builds from the narcissus
building tool online. However i have been looking for the uImage file
that would come along with the bootloader files. Im not able to find
the file. in the past they have been in the /boot directory but they
are not there now. Did the file move or is the beagle board now able
to start with using just the mlo and u-boot files?
Also,
I have not tested these recent builds on my board for i have left it
at work

I’m not a huge fan of Narcissus, despite it producing a pretty good user experience. My concern is that it is still too difficult to document the exact steps to reproduce an image:
can’t I just provide a URL?
how do I reproduce images from old OE metadata?
how do I know what has changed?
how do I know if the image build is still in progress or has hung?
why can’t I hit refresh?
Still, there are certainly some valid trade-offs and I think there is a future for Narcissus when I can run it against my own local build data to enable simple off-line configuration. It certainly shouldn’t be too hard to fix to take in clearly documented form data, enable refreshes, and more closely monitor the build status.
Anyway, getting over my frustration and getting on to your question…
I built an image using Narcissus…
And then I looked for the kernel inside of it…
$ tar jtf random-57ed2fa8-image-beagleboard.tar.bz2 | grep boot/uImage
Thanks you for your reply. i was looking at it and the only one that didnt produce a uImage was the bare bones(busybox) i ask because im trying to reduce the startup time by reducing what modules need to be loaded.
