We've noticed that for some reason running MAKEDEV takes seriously ages, so if you don't have CONFIG_DEVTMPFS enabled in your kernel, make sure you turn it on in the kernel config. This causes the bootscripts to bypass MAKEDEV. You may also find that the model uses a lot less RAM if you turn adress space layout randomisation off -- something to do with the way memory mappings are cached: echo 0 >/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space This is especially helpful on machines where the memory usage would otherwise run into swap.
