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 built the 2.6.11 kernel.org kernel using just 'time make' with the gcc-3.4 dist: real 2m40.477s user 2m20.923s sys 0m18.999s I just added a gcc-3.4 dist to a spare partition by copying a sarge dist and then upgrading. This is gcc-4.0-pre7 with libc-2.3.4. I used the custom 2.6.11 kernel again to build this kernel. I disabled the radeonfb because of errors in the i2c.h probably because of gcc-4.0. This is now a normal installation and times anybody can achieve with similar hardware. Oliver, there is usually a delay between new hardware and the drivers needed to use the new chips. There is nothing to do here except wait or trade the ATI chipset board for a supported board. 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/gcc-3.4 sid Kernel 2.6.11 XFree86 4.3.0.1 Xorg X11R6.8.2 1.5 Mb DSL
