Greetings all, from your resident old fart;

I have built 2.6.35.1 about 6 or 7 times, looking for the reason its not
loading microcode correctly for either my AMD phenom, or my radeon video
card. Sometimes a reboot will not startx correctly, hanging with a pure
white screen and no disk activity.

In watching the rebuilds, there were warnings about section mismatches,
which I can recall a couple of kernels ago, were only 5.

Unforch, the latest build shows 146.

Its actually running right now, but a capture, with that
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCHES=y in the make command line and a bit of
redirection returns the attached mismatches.txt.

Cheers, Gene
