Ok so the buildroot make process it trying to pull a .diff from the debian site that doesn't exist. I found that this is a known problem in buildroot's bug tracking system. I tried two things, first I found the actual .diff elsewhere, downloaded it into the dl directory and tried a make. That crashes with complaints about uClibc being built without large file support. Enabling large file support in uClibc's make menuconfig also doesn't build. Next I tried to modify the grub.mk so that it downloads a slightly newer .diff from the debian site. Was a real long shot and of course didn't work either. So now I'm trying to simply build grub on my host system and see if I can go from there. Jason Valenzuela
