I looked but could not find so, apologies ... I am using buildroot 2009.02 release and have successfully produced a linux kernel, rootfs and cross tool kit for a 486 SX PC104 PC104 CPU. I need to apply a patch to the 2.6.24 kernel and have initially used a kernel .config provided by the PC104 manufacturer which I did by manually applying the patch in project_build_486/uclibc/linux-2.6.24 and copying the kernel .config there too. I can see that there is support in the buildroot menu Kernel->Patches for Additional patch to apply (from $(DL_DIR)) but when I put the kernel patch file in /dl and entered the filename in the menu configuration buildroot complained: Make: *** No rule to make target 'patch-2.4.6-DMP', needed by '../project_build_i486/uclibc/linux-2.6.24/.patched'. Stop. Your assistance to better understand how to get buildroot to automatically apply a kernel patch would be appreciated. Regards Will
