This is often because .start_secondary_prolog lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of .start_secondary is wrong. WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x260a8): Section mismatch in reference from the function .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier() to the function .devinit.text:.update_dn_pci_info() The function .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier() references the function __devinit .update_dn_pci_info(). This is often because .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier lacks a __devinit annotation or the annotation of .update_dn_pci_info is wrong. Is this anything to worry about? Thanks, Chris
