There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the info! However, I think this belongs in the troubleshooting section, not in the variable description.
I haven't looked deeply at this problem, but isn't it really kernel.bbclass which should fixed to refer to IMAGE_NAME and IMAGE_LINK_NAME properly, instead of relying on them to be set to specific values? Otherwise they are kind of pointless, if they can't be set to anything besides the default. I guess it's independent from this doc fix though.
