I think you should read the sig11 FAQ at
http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/. It could help you a bit. btw, I'm
having same kind of problems, but sometimes my machine lockups
completely. I haven't investigated what's the cause. I can still
compile kernels, I just use 'make-kpkg kernel_image' again. It
continues there it left before the lockup and the compiled kernel
works fine.

Sorry about my english,
