Hi, I'm completely stumped. I recently upgraded my Debian system from a 2.2 kernel to 2.4.18, and since then it has slowed to a near-halt (on a Celeron 733). Where it's most notable is if I run make.
For example, "make menuconfig" takes about two full minutes to bring up the dialog boxes. And then, running "make dep" takes a solid TWO HOURS after saving my kernel changes. And then (yeah, it gets even better) running "make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image" takes a whopping FOUR HOURS to finish! I could be approaching this whole thing all wrong, but I checked the version of make, and it is: shiner:~# make -v GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath. Built for i386-pc-linux-gnu On another Debian machine which runs JUST FINE on a 2.4.18 kernel (a Celeron 500), the version of make is: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ make -v GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath. Built for i586-pc-linux-gnu Is it possible that make is slow on the Celeron 733 because it's the wrong architecture (i386, instead of i586)? And if so, how on earth do I upgrade it? I've tried apt-get upgrade and apt-get install (my apt sources are set to the unstable debian source), but it just keeps telling me I already have the updated versions. I fear there may be a bigger problem here though. HELP! (And thanks to anyone who can provide it!). ~~ Michael Lee -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
