At first all was well, at least the screen went black, X was visible in top
and I could get out with Ctrl-c.
So far so good.
Then I recalled that I had not done 'make'.
So I did make, but a bug(?) stopped further advancements.
I don't know how to file a bug report, but maybe the below is of use (I
figure next stable release is imminent).

Lennart

First my new defconfig:

BR2_x86_i686=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_GLIBC=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_CXX=y
BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_CREATION_DYNAMIC_EUDEV=y
# BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_GETTY is not set
BR2_ROOTFS_OVERLAY="board/eta/board1/rootfs-overlay/"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="i386"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_INSTALL_TARGET=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XSERVER_XORG_SERVER=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XSERVER_XORG_SERVER_MODULAR=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XAPP_TWM=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XAPP_XINIT=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XAPP_XWD=y
BR2_PACKAGE_XDRIVER_XF86_VIDEO_INTEL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_MCOOKIE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON=y
BR2_PACKAGE_SQLITE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_CAIRO=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCURL=y

# BR2_PACKAGE_NANO_TINY is not set
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2=y
BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_EXT2_BLOCKS=1000000
BR2_TARGET_GRUB2=y

I had done a 'git pull' earlier today. Then, just now, a 'make' once before
the below 'make':
