This patch seems to be the culprit: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/19/366 Specifically, this code: /* The initial task and kernel stack */ - .data.init_task : AT(ADDR(.data.init_task) - LOAD_OFFSET) { - INIT_TASK_DATA(THREAD_SIZE) - } + INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION(THREAD_SIZE) If I change it back to: /* The initial task and kernel stack */ .data..init_task : AT(ADDR(.data..init_task) - LOAD_OFFSET) { INIT_TASK_DATA(THREAD_SIZE) } not only do the warnings go away, but the kernel now boots again!
