Created attachment 1171 [details] fix for linux26-menuconfig If your target has board specific kernel patches and you do the following: make linux26clean make linux26-menuconfig Then it will not apply your board patches before opening menuconfig. The attached patch fixes the issue.
Due to the merge of the linux-cleanup work, the concept of "board patch" for the Linux kernel no longer exists. Now we have a single "Kernel Patch" option, which allows to apply either a single patch, or multiple patches stored in a single directory. So this problem should not exist anymore.
