Hi All while compiling linux kernel downloaded from kernel.org i am getting warning as given below WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:start_kernel from .text between 'is386' (at offset 0xc1001171) and 'check_x87' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'rest_init' (at offset 0xc10013e6) and 'try_name' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between 'probe_bigsmp' (at offset 0xc1002012) and 'init_apic_ldr' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:find_unisys_acpi_oem_table from .text between 'acpi_madt_oem_check' (at offset 0xc1002220) and 'enable_apic_mode' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:parse_unisys_oem from .text between 'acpi_madt_oem_check' (at offset 0xc100226d) and 'enable_apic_mode' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:setup_unisys from .text between 'acpi_madt_oem_check' (at offset 0xc1002274) and 'enable_apic_mode' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:parse_unisys_oem from .text between 'mps_oem_check' (at offset 0xc100220d) and 'acpi_madt_oem_check' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:es7000_sw_apic from .text between 'enable_apic_mode' (at offset 0xc1002284) and 'check_apicid_present' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__alloc_bootmem from .text between 'init_gdt' (at offset 0xc100a8a9) and 'cpu_init' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__alloc_bootmem from .text between 'init_gdt' (at offset 0xc100a8bf) and 'cpu_init' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:sysenter_setup from .text between 'identify_cpu' (at offset 0xc100ad9b) and 'detect_ht' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:mtrr_bp_init from .text between 'identify_cpu' (at offset 0xc100ada5) and 'detect_ht' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'iret_exc' (at offset 0xc11f990a) and '_etext' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:initkmem_list3 from .text between 'set_up_list3s' (at offset 0xc106d7e1) and 's_start' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:__alloc_bootmem from .text between 'vgacon_startup' (at offset 0xc10f3987) and 'vgacon_scrolldelta' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:logo_linux_clut224 from .text between 'fb_find_logo' (at offset 0xc10fc5a8) and 'backlight_class_release' WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'iret_exc' (at offset 0xc11f9f7e) and '_etext' The same warnings are also being reported when I compile my external module using the above built kernel. Is there any suggestions on how to solve this problem...? thanks in advance.. regards _________________________________________________________________ Searching for the best deals on travel?
