Please keep your replies on the mailing list so that all may benefit.

It's understandable that you would want to keep with familiar versions
but 2.6.32 dates from 2009, many years before the BeagleBoard was even
created.  It is unlikely that a kernel from that period would run on
that board.  Also, much of the Yocto infrastructure (e.g. udev) relies
on much newer kernels to function properly.

If you want to use newer hardware, you are inevitably going to need
the newer software that goes with it.

                   while bitbaking kernel, i got error as follows:

        due to this error i thought error can be cleared if kernel fetched from 
yocto git repository, but i cat get from there,  so how do i get kernel-2.6.32 
for yocto project.


    Why would you want such an old kernel for that board?
