[Buildroot] Building kernel with buildroot fails

[theHog]

Hi,

I am trying to build a kernel with buildroot, but the make fails. I need
kernel 2.6.26.6 and a custom patch.

In menuconfig, I've selected the following options:

Kernel/Kernel Type: Advanced configuration
Kernel/Linux Kernel Version: Linux 2.6.26
Kernel/Patches/Add kernel.org patch: yes
Kernel/Patches/Add a kernel.org patch to the Linux Kernel: (Add a '.#' minor
patch)
Kernel/Patches/patch level: 6
Additional patch to apply (from $(DL_DIR)): eddy-2.6.26.6.patch

I've put the 'eddy-2.6.26.6.patch' as a (non-zipped) patch file in the
download dir where all downloaded packages are.

After doing a make, the build process does the following (see output below):
- downloads and unpacks 2.6.26 kernel
- renames the directory to 2.6.26.6 (it does not download and patch with the
2.6.26.6 kernel patch)
- outputs a 'kernelrelease not valid' error
- outputs a 'No rule to make target `eddy-2.6.26.6.patch'' error

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Richard.
