I'm trying to build a Gumstix console image with kernel version 3.2 using the instructions from the Gumstix Github repo: https://github.com/gumstix/Gumstix-YoctoProject-Repo The build process hangs while downloading source for the linux-sakoman_3.5 recipe. Looking in the downloads folder, the 3.2 kernel source has already been downloaded. A few questions on this: 1) Where in the images/recipes/conf files is the kernel version to use set? How do I tell Yocto/bitbake that I want to build the 3.2 kernel? 2) Why are both kernel sources downloaded for the gumstix-console-image? 3) Any ideas on why bitbake hangs on the fetch step of linux-sakoman_3.5? I've checked out the repo manually and it works fine and left the fetch step running overnight to see if it was just slow. Any help would be appreciated.

Good morning, to set the specific kernel version, take a look at below: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.1/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html#var-PREFERRED_VERSION You probably want this specification in overo.inc file (meta-gumstix/conf/machine/). Fetching failure can be a result of busy server. I've seen it happen a number of times. Of ~3000 required packages, any number of package sources could be down at any moment. If Steve's server is slow, you can modify the kernel 3.5 recipe to point at git://github.com/gumstix/linux.git. I have been trying to push an updated meta-gumstix layer (number of changes including kernel source hosted at Github), but haven't had the chance yet. Hope that helped!
