[oe] bitbake virtual/kernel fails for davinci

[Bjørn Forsman]

Hi,

I am a bit new to OpenEmbedded, but have successfully built angstrom
for davinci and qemu in the past. Today I tried to "bitbake
virtual/kernel" for a davinci (dm6446) system. The build fails during
unpack of linux-davinci kernel because git cannot find a given object
hash (see output below). Has anybody else experienced this? How come
OE references a non-existent git object?

The non-existent git object hash is specified in
"recipes/linux/linux-davinci_git.bb" and was lastly modified by commit
160616d5f2a57ba828ed5ec06e37fc1cd4713af7.
