Well, Peter,
I am facing the same problem as Teng Chee Wan Philip did then.
And I am not really free in my choice regarding the kernel.
My pretty brand new Internet router ("AVM FRITZ!Box 7390") is using a 2.6.19.2 Linux kernel,
and I can't really rebuild the entire thing,
as they only tell us, on what open source it's based,
and they don't publish their extensions.

I want to be able to mount ext2 partitions on external disks,
and not just vfat partitions,
so I want to grab the ext2.ko from your build
and "insmod" it in my devices kernel.
They actually supply us with the kernel sources,
they use for building their device,
and I have no idea, whether they really changed it.
Of course, I know how to do a "diff -r" on their kernel and the vanilla 2.6.19.2 ...
So now with your software
I actually also didn't find a way to tell it,
how to use a custom kernel, that I already have on my disk.
And "here" you are also telling us,
there is a problem with buildroot regarding the kernel to be built resp. how new it is.
Well, whatever!
Either I use your software, which so far seems to lack a few features resp. suffers from a few minor deficits,
or I need to build a cross-compiler and then the kernel with that cross-compiler all by myself.
Now in this light -- do you see any chance for me to get this job done?
Be sure: your community would love you for this!
Kind regards,
Jochen
P.S.
I am a little in a hurry right now,
and I hope you don't consider me curt.
Thanks for your work on buildroot!!!
Do you have an Amazon or whatever wishlist,
so I can do something good for you?
