[solved]zen sources, kernel compilation problem

CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh

GZIP kernel/config_data.gz
IKCFG kernel/config_data.h

MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x291): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_post() to the function .init.text:prepare_namespace()
The function init_post() references
the function __init prepare_namespace().
This is often because init_post lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of prepare_namespace is wrong.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuinit.data+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable initial_code to the function .init.text:i386_start_kernel()
The variable __cpuinitdata initial_code references
a function __init i386_start_kernel().
If i386_start_kernel is only used by initial_code then
annotate i386_start_kernel with a matching annotation.

OMG, so close ... any ideas? maybe the zen-source.org forum is more appropriated?

Answer 1

How are you trying to build the zen kernel? Did you have an old copy of the zen sources around before you updated.
I got the impression that some things have changed and it may be the reason why you are getting weird errors. Someone else had this same issue though and I don't have the foggiest for an answer.
irc #zen-sources is a very helpful channel though
