Check your shell's language setting if you are building a kernel 4.9 image

kernel 4.9 changed eMMC device from /dev/mmcblk0 to /dev/mmcblk1, but the way of latest poplar_recovery_builder.sh handling this change is not quite nice to users of different languages other than English. it uses “grep "Linux version 4.9" Image” = “Binary file Image matches” to check kernel version, and this only works on a shell with English language setting. otherwise your system booting would just stop at "Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p3… "

so I think either adding a warning in instruction or adding a language setting in script is necessary.
it took me hours to notice this minor change, hope this post can save you some time.

Sorry for that, Eric. Can you please confirm if adding the following line to top of the script will fix the problem?

export LC_ALL=C

Thanks.
