Sending it again doesn't change that. We need to find a different solution. Cheers, Richard

To use latest stable kernel from oe-core. It has much more genericarm64 support than the old version selected by poky-altcfg distro. genericarm64 machine basically only works well with systemd init with udev already in initramfs and thus with poky-altcfg distro, not plain poky distro. This setting makes default release binaries for poky-altcfg distro useful for genericarm64 machine and the many HW devices we want to support.
