Subject: section miss-matches in older 3.8.3 kernel, and one question

Greetings;

In my attempts to find a 64 bit or PAE enabled kernel to run on my older 
ASUS M2N-SLI Delux mobo, I saw a note go by during the build that there 
were 9 section-miss-matches.

But when I applied the cli option recommended to the make lines in my 
makeit script, I only got these 2 squawks.

WARNING: drivers/net/ethernet/amd/depca.o(.text+0xcce): Section mismatch in 
reference from the function depca_isa_probe() to the function 
.init.text:DepcaSignature()
The function depca_isa_probe() references
the function __init DepcaSignature().
This is often because depca_isa_probe lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of DepcaSignature is wrong.

WARNING: drivers/net/ethernet/amd/depca.o(.text+0xd22): Section mismatch in 
reference from the function depca_isa_probe() to the function 
.init.text:depca_hw_init()
The function depca_isa_probe() references
the function __init depca_hw_init().
This is often because depca_isa_probe lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of depca_hw_init is wrong.

I am not capable to fixing these, too many years & miles on the wet ram, 
but I thought that maybe someone might be interested.

Also, these kernels seem to want to drop me to an initramfs$ prompt, where, 
since both kayboard and mouse are wireless usb, there is no connection, so 
I have to hit the reset button & try a known good kernel.

Has the use of mkinitramfs been deprecated? and if so, replace by what?

Thanks.

Cheers, Gene
