Subject: Re: [PATCH] 2.6.24-mm1 section type conflict cleanup
Hi Andrew,
The 2.6.24-mm1 kernel build fails at many places with section type
conflict build error.
drivers/net/typhoon.c:181: error: typhoon_card_info causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/typhoon.o] Error 1
drivers/net/natsemi.c:245: error: natsemi_pci_info causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/natsemi.o] Error 1
drivers/net/bnx2.c:95: error: board_info causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/bnx2.o] Error 1
drivers/net/bnx2x.c:112: error: board_info causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/bnx2x.o] Error 1
drivers/net/bnx2x.c:112: error: board_info causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/bnx2x.o] Error 1
drivers/net/via-velocity.c:453: error: velocity_id_table causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/via-velocity.o] Error 1
drivers/net/starfire.c:350: error: netdrv_tbl causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/starfire.o] Error 1
I have tested the patch for build test only
