Thanks for the reply,
I am using 32 megs of SDRAM. I have not noticed anything else that
would suggest memory problems. I have used this particular system setup
while I was running Slackware and did not have this particular problem
with compiling the kernal. I also have 80 megs of swap space setup for
linux. And finally, I am not overclocking the cpu.
