Bruce,

I didn't change linux-mainline_3.8.bb.
My linux-mainline_3.8.bbappend is:

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/${PN}-3.8:"
inherit kernel
require recipes-kernel/linux/linux-yocto.inc
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_beaglebone = "(beaglebone)"
SRC_URI += " file://mine.patch \
             file://config-addons.cfg \
             "

My config-addons.cfg:

CONFIG_WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT=y
CONFIG_NTFS_FS=y
CONFIG_NTFS_RW=y

After a cleansstate the build got stucked on do_patch task.
Here is the content of log.do_patch:

DEBUG: Executing shell function do_patch
WARNING: no meta data branch found ...
Switched to branch 'linux-3.8.y'


Running with bitbake -v I got the following:
