Hello, I am wondering if this is anything to be concerned about. I googled some, and what I found did not seem to apply (using old config file), or indicated it may be normal.
I have a pretty generic kernel configuration -- actually tried two different. I get the following message when I make. WARNING: modpost: Found 41 section mismatch(es). it indicates that i should do the following to see details, so i did. make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y 40 of the warnings are like this: WARNING: drivers/video/built-in.o(.devinit.text+0xb0): Section mismatch in reference from the function efifb_probe() to the (unknown reference) .init.data:(unknown) The function __devinit efifb_probe() references a (unknown reference) __initdata (unknown). If (unknown) is only used by efifb_probe then annotate (unknown) with a matching annotation. and the remaining one is WARNING: arch/x86/pci/built-in.o(.text+0x10fb): Section mismatch in reference from the function pcibios_scan_specific_bus() to the function .devinit.text:pci_scan_bus_on_node() The function pcibios_scan_specific_bus() references the function __devinit pci_scan_bus_on_node(). This is often because pcibios_scan_specific_bus lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of pci_scan_bus_on_node is wrong. I searched in menuconfig for efifb but found no matches. I double checked my video config and it seems OK. -- Thank you, -Brian -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
