Something seems to be wrong with your mailer, as a patch was strangely
missing.

As the first line made clear there wasn't going to be a patch, I think
you need to change your spectacle subscription.

Last time I checked users/testers were encouraged to post up errors as
well as patches. When was that changed?

These should all basically be fixed by now. This was the only outstanding
one, and was a bit of a pain to track down since DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH
didn't seem to have any clue what it was talking about. A few updates
later it managed to get a bit closer to the actual offending symbol
(presently it's convinced that pvr2_fix is the proble, which is at least
quite a bit closer to reality), but was still wrong. The problem ended up
being the pvr2_var.vmode reference in pvr2fb_check_var(), which I just
replaced with an explicit reference to FB_VMODE_NONINTERLACED. I'll push
that out for 2.6.25, and hopefully that should be the last of them.
