Sounds almost like you're building an excessibly large kernel configuration. A realistic kernel config will crosscompile within a few minutes on a modest machine such as a 3GHz / 1GB P4-class PC. But to lessen the pains of your aching CPU, here's a binary tarball: ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/people/ralf/sgi-ip32/linux-2.6.22-rc2-gc6b5a619-dirty.tar.bz2 > Finally, I've been working on the PCI Legacy IO issue (progress is sadly > slow - don't have a fully compiling patchset yet), would this patch be > relevant since its also an O2 sysfs issue? The two issues are entirely unrelated. Ralf
