Hey, I've been running Gentoo for a long time. This is the first time I'm actually building the Kernel with module support. In doing so I'm getting the following. I did a make clean after getting these errors the first time, but that didn't seem to help.

I'm building the latest available hardened-sources (2.6.28-r9)

Code:
MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: modpost: Found 2073 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'

and later:
Code:
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#5)
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 2 modules
WARNING: modpost: Found 6 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y'
  CC      drivers/net/e1000/e1000.mod.o
  LD [M]  drivers/net/e1000/e1000.ko
  CC      drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.mod.o
  LD [M]  drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko


I ran make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y and there is too much stuff to post.

Can these warnings be safely ignored?
