What is a normal build-time for a 2.6.11 kernel with reasonable hardware support (USB, SATA, ATA, On-Board Sound, Firewire ...), with many features compiled into the kernel?
++++++ I just ran a test to make the 2.6.11 kernel with everything built-in like before. This time I used a custom gcc-3.4.3 and custom libc-2.3.4 and, of course, a custom 2.6.11 kernel to get this: real 2m27.359s user 2m9.699s sys 0m13.965s Don't expect this speed yet with a normal dist. :-) P.S. Oliver, what motherboard do you have? Does the motherboard have more SATA ports than just the Silicon Image? Does 'free' show plenty of memory? editor@postscript.port5.com -- AMD Athlon64 @2.4Ghz Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL @480Mhz DDR ASUS A8V Deluxe ASUS Radeon A9250Ge/Td/256 Creative SB Live WD Raptor SATA Maxtor PATA IBM/Okidata Color PostScript3 Lexmark Mono PostScript2 Debian GNU/Linux debian-amd64/pure64 sid Kernel 2.6.11 XFree86 4.3.0.1 Xorg X11R6.8.2 1.5 Mb DSL
