Hello Paul, Many Thanks (not entirely politically correct English language), I guess it was one of the errors: PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-torvalds ?= "6.10.%"
I swapped "torvalds" with "mainline", as U did. But the one I've bumped to is the one I just noticed at the end of writing the original email: https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/meta-bbb/blob/scarthgap/conf/machine/beaglebone.conf 5 SOC_FAMILY = "ti335x" 6 TARGET_ARCH = "arm" 7 8 DEFAULTTUNE ?= "cortexa8hf-neon-" 9 10 require conf/machine/include/soc-famil y.inc 11 require conf/machine/include/arm/armv7a/tune-cortexa8.inc 12 =======>>> 13 PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux-stable" <<<======= 14 #PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "ti-linux" 15 KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "zImage" 16 17 PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/bootloader = "u-boot" _______ Anyway, Ur @ somehow prompted me to start moving after 3 days og banging my head off the Chinese wall... I did fix the mainline kernel recipe, in some clumsy way, but for now I have @ least a working version (or I think I have, since now I am compiling kernel 6.10-rc2, I need to wait till the end of the process) ! U did organize the whole mainline thing in a very structured way, my mainline 6.10-rc2 .bb recipe is a complete mess At least it does work (with sticks and ropes)! :-))) Very soon I will release this recipe in my meta-bbb/ layer, inherited from Scott Ellis. Scott kept in there machine/ .../meta-bbb/conf/machine/ directory, U did not. Implementation detail! ;-) Later... YOCTO Folks!
