What is a normal build-time for a 2.6.11 kernel with reasonable hardware support (USB, SATA, ATA, On-Board Sound, Firewire ...), with many features compiled into the kernel?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here is the time output for 2.6.10 using make-kpkg to build the kernel-image deb:
chmod -R og=rX debian/tmp-image
chown -R root:root debian/tmp-image
dpkg --build debian/tmp-image ..
dpkg-deb: building package `kernel-image-2.6.10' in `../kernel-image-2.6.10_checktime1_amd64.deb'.
rm -f -r debian/tmp-image
echo done > stamp-image
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.10'
real 3m9.943s user 2m44.624s sys 0m19.704s
I have noticed a user time minimum of about 2m30 on previous builds. That was after a fresh install before the disk got into disarray. Here is my WD Raptor time without the IOCTL error on stdout:
/dev/sda: Timing cached reads: 5236 MB in 2.00 seconds = 2617.09 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 206 MB in 3.02 seconds = 68.22 MB/sec
My Athlon 64 is overclocked and probably runs a little faster than an AMD64 4000+ CPU.
Also, I used my custom kernel 2.6.11 to build the above 2.6.10 so that might be faster than using a debian-dist kernel.
I think any AMD64 should build a kernel in under 4 minutes or there is something wrong.
