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

[Robert Yang]

Hi Todd,

I can't reproduce the problem, the rpm has more space than ipk is because
of the IMAGE_ROOTFS_EXTRA_SPACE, which is 50M * 1.3 by default.

Would you please try the following commands:

1) $ ls -stlh 
tmp/deploy/images/wandboard-dual/core-image-minimal-dev-wandboard-dual-*.ext3

2) $ fsck.ext4 -fn /path/to/image.ext3

And can you show the bb file if possible ?
