[Buildroot] [PATCH] bump kernel headers to latest stable, including scsi patch for latests kernel headers

[Buildroot] [PATCH] bump kernel headers to latest stable, including scsi patch for latests kernel headers

[Marcus Osdoba]

bump to latest (begin of September 2010) kernel headers,
scsi.h and scsi_net.h have not changed since April 2010
-> so renaming the scsi patches files in toolchain/kernel-headers/ to match higher versions

I have tested building toolchains with recent headers 2.6.32, 2.6.34 and 
2.6.35.

Thanks, but something seems to have gotten wrong, git am cannot apply
it. I've made the bump myself and at the same time removed
2.6.27/2.6.28.

Yeah, the fix is finally in mainline for 2.6.36.

I'm using git of the current debian squeeze (which ist 1.7.1 or so). I 
used the built in git feature:
git format-patch
and
git send-email with the formerly generated patch

I have other patches in branch which introduce util-linux-ng. Can you 
give the output of the git am error?
Does this patch 
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot/24766) cause 
the same error?

Did you hand edit your patch?
It does not apply to blobs recorded in its index.
Cannot fall back to three-way merge.

When you have resolved this problem run "git am -3 --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am -3 --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am -3 --abort".

I didn't see any obvious mangling of your patch (E.G. by your mailer),
but it doesn't like it.

 Marcus> Does this patch
 Marcus> (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot/24766) cause
 Marcus> the same error?

No, that one applies without problem.
