[oe-users] new kernel problem

[Marco Cane]

hi to everybody, 
I have another nice problem with OE.
Finally I managed to compile a personalized distro, with a small X11, a wm, 
Java support and few other programs but today I encountered a new problem.
I want to install my personal kernel (2.6.23.9, patched to support SquashFS) 
and I followed these steps:
1. I created a file named <myname>_<version>.bb into 
org.openembedded.dev/packages/linux
2. I created a directory <myname> with all files I need (kernel sources, 
patches and .config)
3. I tried a bitbake -b <myname> -c compile and a bitbake <myname> and all 
complete successfully
The problem is that the compilation of the full distro ignores the variable 
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "<myname>" (and PREFERRED_VERSION_myname 
= "xyz"); bitbake tells me that "several provider are available for 
virtual/kernel" (that I never set up) and suggests me to set a 
PREFERRED_PROVIDER.

I've inserted PREFERRED_PROVIDER in several places but without success:
1. into local.conf
2. into angstrom2007.1.conf
3. into x86.conf instead of PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux"
4. into mymachine.conf 
Any suggestion? I know that I can work without include my personal kernel 
but if it works I can fully authomate the whole process. Thanks in advance

Marco

p.s. the file named <myname>_<version>.bb contains also a specification 
about what machine can use it (<mymachine> of course)
