Bruce, for more information on what i'm doing..
I had to forcibly migrate to this latest version from the danny versions
that I was using.. I had exactly same problems with danny too..!
Last week I followed instruction again at
https://github.com/gumstix/Gumstix-YoctoProject-Repo
In both the cases my recipe is the same and is placed in a layer that I
created for this purpose.
path: /home/desen555/yocto/poky/meta-dese_iisc/recipes-kernel/linux/
linux-omap-khilmanpm_3.5.bb
this is my current meta data info:

Parsing of 1449 .bb files complete (1448 cached, 1 parsed). 1816 targets,
41 skipped, 0 masked, 0 errors.

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.18.0"
BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "Ubuntu-12.04"
TARGET_SYS        = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "overo"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.4.2"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "armv7a vfp neon"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta
meta-yocto        = "(nobranch):4e399f08d596197859214fdb3b06403b87bf8789"
meta-gnome

meta-networking
meta-multimedia   = "(nobranch):44754206632dd5b0725aeb43e99e4ff9e0245dca"
