(I don't know what GRP is, so I skipped it.) The make modules step on my box, a NForce2 with an Athlon-XP 2500+ easily took 15-20 minutes, and possibly 30. I'm not sure.
I think genkernel builds more stuff than I might if I did the kernel by hand, and I'm assuming your laptop is not faster than my desktop. 15 minutes was likely not enough. That said, next time I doubt I'll use genkernel as I'm just not sure yet what it's doing. - Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
