compile time on 2.6.8
How long is it taking people who compile the 2.6.8 kernel? It is taking about 30-40 minutes on my dual AMD MP2100?? And I am compiling from a Deb Sarge kernel-image 2.6.8-1-K7-smp?? Doesn't seem right. Seems like I used to compile in 5 minutes or less?? Compiling on Debian Sarge.

Depends on what options you have set at compile time. If you compile *only* what you need, probably five minutes. If you compile everything, talking about an hour on a 1.2GHz system. This assumes that you're compiling the kernel The Debian Way(tm). -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBNNjjUzgNqloQMwcRAprPAKDb1SRuHB17KmvF+UeP+RAJwBUROACgkxlP kPUMkzJLrFh9Ahr2HQEdtiU= =FxOr -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Lance I'm using a 1.7gig P4, 256 mb ram and two swap files on different drives. My last 2.6.8-5 kernel compile took 8.5 minutes. The module compile took 2 minutes. I don't compile my kernels the Debian way, if that makes any difference. FWIW. -mk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi You should try: export MAKE=make -j3 before running make-kpkg, you should get a higher load but also a shorter compilation time as the 2 cpus will be used. this assumes that you do it the debian way, I think you can do the same with the standard procedure. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: compile time on 2.6.8
I cut the compile time down to 19m20s. Change line 14 in toplevel Makefile to MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory -j 3 There has to be a space between the -j and 3 (or 4 or whatever you use). I did have MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory -j3 and it took 45m because there was no space. Just as an aside, I ran another compile just a minute ago and all I changed from the previous compile was I loaded VESA and VGA Graphics and 8 and 16 bit fonts in Framebuffer so I would get the silly little logo instaed of a black screen: real 1m28.853s into the kernel instead of as modules So, if you don't change a lot of stuff and a bunch of modules don't have to be compiled then it takes a whole lot less time!!
