[Buildroot] Error patching kernel for headers

[Buildroot] Error patching kernel for headers

[don]

With current svn files, I get these errors.  It looks like there is a
problem with a patch file (linux-2.6.20.3-ipmisensors-20070314-1214.patch)
in the kernel-headers stuff.

No, the patch is fine
Sounds like you touched the kernel tarball, so it tries to re-apply all
patches.
rm -rf build_i486/linux-2.6.20.3
and don't touch the tarball
