[Buildroot] Trouble with kernel patch in buildroot

[Buildroot] Trouble with kernel patch in buildroot

[Darius]

Hi All,

I want to configure buildroot for my needs. I specified advanced kernel configuration, kernel version (tarbal name) 2.6.28 and patch name patch-2.6.29-rc1.bz2.
But buildroot does not try to download and apply this patch. Why? Kernel tarbal is downloaded and extracted well, but buildroot tries to configure kernel config without patch applied.
I specified patch site http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ in menuconfig.

When you want to use your own patch, you are responsible for 
making it available in DL_DIR.

They way to do what you want is to specify


-----------------
kernel type (linux (Advanced configuration))  --->
Linux Kernel Version (Linux 2.6.28)  --->
Patches  --->
kernel binary format (XXXX9
Destinations ....

------------------
In "Patches" you do:


[*] Add kernel.org patch
[ ] Use only the latest patch version
    Add a kernel.org patch to the Linux kernel (Add an `-rc#' patch)
--->
(1) -rc patch level
[ ] Add ARCH specific patch  --->
()  Additional patch to apply (from $(DL_DIR))
