With option BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_LINUX_HEADERS_CUSTOM_4_1*=y BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_AS_KERNEL parameter is set. Defconfig is meant as a starting point for work with the board. In these case if user wants to change version of Linux kernel, such error appears: ---------------------------->8--------------------------------- Incorrect selection of kernel headers: expected 4.16.x, got 4.15.x, ----------------------------8<--------------------------------- Also in case of choosing new kernel rc's, error 404 occurs. For inexperienced users, these errors may not be obvious. > (side note: could you use my @bootlin.com address instead of > @free-electrons.com.
