Hi..
'allyesconfig' seems to be great for testing, but all I have is half a gig of memory. Everything is fine until it starts with LD .tmp_vmlinux* when it has to start thrashing to complete, which makes it rather slow. Is there any particular way to get the linker to somehow segment its operations to not need to swap, or do I just have to put up with it or get more memory?
I never use "allyesconfig", so I can only imagine it's kinda more memory consuming than defconfig. In this case, the best you can do is probably by killing unneeded task to free up more RAM (or do it in runlevel 1). Also, if you really see heavy swapping, perhaps you can setup swap areas on different physical disk... so the load can be spread. As the last resort, buying more RAM will always be helpful. That's all I can share. regards, Mulyadi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
