[Buildroot] Error when compiling Buildroot to create .iso (cannot stat /.../i386-linux-2.6.24-20

[Arun Reddy]

Hi Andrew,

I just made the symbolic link by typing in

'ln -s project_build_i386/uclibc/linux-2.6-24/arch/x86 x86'

in the buildroot directory. I then compiled again and I was still presented
with the same error. I should point out that in the error.log, I am also
seeing:

+ echo '/root/buildroot/build_i386/genext2fs-1.4/genext2fs -b 67936 ' ' -N
1621 -d /root/buildroot/project_build_i386/uclibc/root ' ' -U -m 0
/root/buildroot/binaries/uclibc/rootfs.i386.ext2

right before the error displays that i386-linux-2.6.24-20080403 cannot be
found. (This has now changed to i386-linux-2.6.24-20080404 since it's April
4th in the time that buildroot is using).

Does this mean that I need to delete my rootfs.i386.ext2 and compile again
from scratch with .iso selected in order to get the .iso? I hope this isn't
the case since it took me a while to do the build. Thanks!
