Hi, Following are the different build failure with 2.6.24-git7 kernel on the powerpc
drivers/net/typhoon.c:181: error: typhoon_card_info causes a section type conflict make[2]: *** [drivers/net/typhoon.o] Error 1 drivers/net/natsemi.c:259: error: natsemi_pci_info causes a section type conflict make[2]: *** [drivers/net/natsemi.o] Error 1 drivers/net/bnx2.c:95: error: board_info causes a section type conflict make[2]: *** [drivers/net/bnx2.o] Error 1 drivers/net/via-velocity.c:454: error: velocity_id_table causes a section type conflict make[2]: *** [drivers/net/via-velocity.o] Error 1 Following are warning with section mismatch CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH enabled, WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x423f4): Section mismatch in reference from the function .enable_nonboot_cpus() to the function .cpuinit.text:._cpu_up() The function .enable_nonboot_cpus() references the function __cpuinit ._cpu_up(). This is often because .enable_nonboot_cpus lacks a __cpuinit annotation or the annotation of ._cpu_up is wrong.

This is often seen when error handling in the init function uses functionality in the exit path. The fix is often to remove the __devexit annotation of .tah_detach() so it may be used outside an exit section.
