Can you tell the exact errors which crop up during the failure? maybe
even get a screen/script log of the session?
This is the error - the bog standard error that the kernel compile
throws up when ncurses-devel package is missing. Except it isn't missing
in this case:
# make clean
# make menuconfig

HOSTCC scripts/basic/docproc
HOSTCC scripts/basic/hash
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o

The same works when / is on ext3 (from two different machines that mount
/usr/src from the nfs server).
Logs would be really useful, but I'm not sure how I could provide those
until syslog support becomes available in glusterfs. :(
