[Debian] Re: Bug#403712: kernel-patch-openvz: Cannot compile kernel, undefined symbols

Got it to build and even attempt to boot--no undefineds!

The thing listed a lot of oops codes, many involving the journaling, so I 
panicked and stopped it.

Additionally, there were items like:
BUG: Using SMP with preemptive .... 
(or something like that.)
(I do not have multiple processors but the default kernels are SMP. I could 
set that option to "n". I saw somewhere that a scheduler option needs to be 
set to CPQ--I believe I have this Anticipatory now--could this be the 
problem?)

The one ominous thing in the build is this item:
Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: 
from .text between 'acpi_processor_power_init' (at offset 0x1055) and 
'acpi_safe_halt'
WARNING: drivers/atm/he.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: 
from .text between 'he_start' (at offset 0x1f5d) and 'he_service_tbrq'

UNUSED
WARNING: "next_online_pgdat" [kernel/ve/vzwdog.ko] has no CRC!
WARNING: "first_online_pgdat" [kernel/ve/vzwdog.ko] has no CRC!

I do not know whether the "mismatches" are related to openvz or is in other 
builds as well. If I do not notice it and nothing bawks... I do not have acpi 
working so might be using apm instead. Both are cited.
