To see full details build your kernel with: 'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y' but CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH is not offered in 2.6.25. The options seem to be: - going back to the worse but for most practical purposes usable warnings in 2.6.24 - don't show these warnings during modpost for 2.6.25 cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
