Hi All,

I want to configure buildroot for my needs. I specified advanced kernel configuration, kernel version (tarbal name) 2.6.28 and patch name patch-2.6.29-rc1.bz2. But buildroot does not try to download and apply this patch. Why? Kernel tarbal is downloaded and extracted well, but buildroot tries to configure kernel config without patch applied. I specified patch site http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ in menuconfig.

When you want to use your own patch, you are responsible for making it available in DL_DIR.

They way to do what you want is to specify

-----------------
kernel type (linux (Advanced configuration)) ---> Linux Kernel Version (Linux 2.6.28) ---> Patches --->
kernel binary format (XXXX9
Destinations ....

------------------
In "Patches" you do:

[*] Add kernel.org patch
[ ] Use only the latest patch version
Add a kernel.org patch to the Linux kernel (Add an `-rc#' patch)
--->
(1) -rc patch level
[ ] Add ARCH specific patch --->
() Additional patch to apply (from $(DL_DIR))
