I have run the script in the directory and it builds the images but, when I download and boot an image, it always stops saying 'unable to open initial console' which I think is a nice way of saying there is no initrd. Anyone care to whack me with a cluebat on this?

A recent "fix" committed into the OE repository had the side-effect of
breaking SlugOS builds. I have not had time to investigate a fix, but
since at least one other person besides myself is running into this
problem, I will raise the priority of trying to resolve this. It is
complicated by the fact that presumably the change fixed a problem for
someone else, so I cannot just revert their change...

Please try the attached patch. I looked at the logs, and opkg-cl was hanging while waiting for the "user" to decide which device tables to use. I added -force-defaults to IPKG_ARGS and the build worked. I haven't tested the image yet though. If this works, I'll send the patch to the OE list.
