Steve suggested: remove the "preferred-stack-boundary=2" line from both the files /usr/src/linux/Makefile & /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile with an editor (eg. pico,or theKDE one, probably eaiser to use ) & save... otherwise you will get an error (in 13-7mdk , dont know about 13-22mdk) Does recompiling increase performance much?
