[yocto] unbootable image produced with PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_ipk", /etc missing

[Todd Stellanova]

It appears that copying the files to the ext3 / sdcard image is failing in
*populate-extfs.sh*
I see a series of these errors:

*copy_file: Could not allocate block in ext2 filesystem*

Any idea what might cause this?  I've verified that the initial .tar
archive and the bz2 contain the right files.
