I just did "bitbake -c menuconfig -b ../org.openembedded.dev/recipes/linux/linux_2.6.28.bb" using DISTRO=minimal, MACHINE=at91sam9263ek and it seemed to apply the patches correctly: NOTE: Running task 4 of 5 (ID: 3, /home/pb/oe/org.openembedded.dev/recipes/linux/linux_2.6.28.bb, do_patch) NOTE: Applying patch 'linux-2.6.28-at91.patch' (tmp/work/at91sam9263ek-oe-linux-gnueabi/linux-2.6.28-r9/linux-2.6.28-at91.patch) NOTE: Applying patch 'linux-2.6.28-exp.patch' (tmp/work/at91sam9263ek-oe-linux-gnueabi/linux-2.6.28-r9/linux-2.6.28-exp.patch) NOTE: Running task 5 of 5 (ID: 4, /home/pb/oe/org.openembedded.dev/recipes/linux/linux_2.6.28.bb, do_menuconfig) So, I'm a bit baffled as to why it isn't working for you. I also tried the same thing with DISTRO=micro and, again, it worked fine for me. > Regarding Angstrom: I have no animosity against it.

Micro, at least, is less complicated than Angstrom and does have the potential to produce smaller images. Actually, that reminds me, I have some patches to eliminate further bloat in micro that I should submit :-) p.
