i am using beagleboard-xm like board for my custom use. for my development
i am using yocto-dora-1.5 as bsp and kernel-2.6.32(i downgraded).
         while bitbaking kernel, i got error as follows:

Log data follows:

due to this error i thought error can be cleared if kernel fetched from
yocto git repository, but i cat get from there,  so how do i get
kernel-2.6.32 for yocto project.

Why would you want such an old kernel for that board?

Please keep your replies on the mailing list so that all may benefit.

It's understandable that you would want to keep with familiar versions
but 2.6.32 dates from 2009, many years before the BeagleBoard was even
created.  It is unlikely that a kernel from that period would run on
that board.  Also, much of the Yocto infrastructure (e.g. udev) relies
on much newer kernels to function properly.

If you want to use newer hardware, you are inevitably going to need
the newer software that goes with it.

There isn't a released 2.6.32 linux-yocto version, so if you
really want that old version, you'd need to create a linux-yocto-custom
recipe for the version (unless that is what you already did).

The only reason to use such a old kernel is for one of two reasons in my experience either 
it's on custom hardware and written by a vendor supporting that hardware or people want to
run a long term supported kernel. I am wondering of the two which one are you under Parthiban.
