Since then linux-davinci tree was updated to 2.6.30 final and more specifically, staging/vpfe branch was rebased from v2 to v3 vpfe patches. Unfortunately, rebase rewrites the history and changes commit numbers, hence the old commit cannot be found any more... I'll update the recipe with the latest state of the linux-davinci tree. But, it may brake in the future again, as this is a moving target. If you want something, which does not break that often, I'd suggest you don't use the "git" version of the recipe - try setting PREFFERED_PROVIDER/VERSION for 2.6.28 or 2.6.29... -- Denys
