This kernel, however, looks balky to me, because it's reporting
warnings and other oddities during compilation. I don't like warnings
at any time, and with the kernel's make wrappers cleaning up the
output they tend to stand out.
Here's what I get:
-- various type/attribute warnings
-- reports of deprecated elements
-- a report of "section mismatches", and instructions to use "make
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y" to find details.
All that being said, the compilation completes, and I can boot it. I
don't know the cause, but I have been unable to get vmware-server
running on it, and I'm going back to the previous kernel for that
reason.

You are not alone if having "issues" with this kernel. When I tried to
run it recently, I noticed a serious slow down in KDE, especially when
logging into KDE. My usual login time is about 7 to 8 seconds but with
this kernel, try about 30 seconds. My mouse was "jerky" and even
Seamonkey was very slow to switch tabs. Nothing changed but the
kernel. I didn't test to long because it was so annoying.
I used make oldconfig and my old kernel config as a starting point. Did
you happen to do the same? Maybe it should be done from scratch? Some
conflict or something?
Thoughts?
