[poky] Getting error in linux-yocto kernel during build.

[chinmaya hoshing]

Hi ,

I am building poky-build minimal live image for fishriver machine on 64 bit
host machine.
As I am having limited internet band-width, so I have identified all the
dependent packages and setup a Apache server on my local system so that I
can redirect the SRC_URI of all the packages to my local server.
I have changed the related recipes to build  minimal live image, and modify
bitbake.conf to add LOCAL_MIRROR="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/packages" , in side
packages I have tars which  was present "build/download" folder.

While building linux-yocto, fetch and unpack was done but during kernel
checkout whatever git commits I have done previously in poky source were
flashed out (lost),  also the only recipe remains in  meta/recipe-kernel/ is
linux .


Following are the changes made in meta/recipes-kernel/linux/
linux-yocto_git.bb
#SRCREV_FORMAT = "meta_machine"
SRC_URI = "${LOCAL_MIRROR}/linux-yocto-3.0-3.0.tar.bz2"
 // This tar file I took from
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/linux-yocto-3.0/snapshot/linux-yocto-3.0-3.0.tar.bz2

PV = "${LINUX_VERSION}"

In file meta-intel/meta-fishriver/conf/machine/fishriver.conf I modified
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto = "3.0"                (which  was
PREFERRED_VERSION_linux-yocto = "3.0+git%" )


Can any one help me to find the solution that if I had to pull linux kernel
source from tar file or such and not from git repository. What things I have
to do.

Regards
