How long has it taken u to compile a custom kernel

[nowshining]

How long does it take u to compile a custom kernel if u compiled 1 or more - please reply with what u choose and the following info:

Chip is + Ghz + Generaton Name & Memory u have for example mine is (oh and please guestimate if u can to the nearest hour):

0-1hours - about

a little less

On an INTEL P4 2.66ghz NO HT on a 512mb System

..............................................

I would say itta be about 45-50m total. Full CPU 100% and can still use the system easily - a bit slower but not that much, also Why I asked was that I am curious becauee a friend on the forums said it takes him 3hrs with a newer P4 system with HT enabled compared to my oldie NON HT Intel P4...

Last I tried it was about 30 minutes.
But I think it also depends on how many modules you include.

My system is Athlon 64 3200+ socket 939.
I use 2-2-2-6 RAM which helps a little.

While I've never compiled a kernel myself. I do know that the compilation of the kernel depends on the speed of the cpu and how many modules you include.

6 minutes and 38 seconds

Athlon 64 FX-62, 2 gigs of 4-4-4-12 RAM

about 15 minutes on HP a1640n with 2gb ram.

2-3 hours on a Pentium M at 1.66 GHz


9-12 hours on a Pentium III

The only OS I've ever compiled my kernel on is Gentoo. It's been a while since I've compiled it since I'm currently not using Gentoo, but I think it was under 5 minutes.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+
1 GB RAM

I did it using this guide:

I also used Gentoo's LiveCD, so it could have been faster if I was using the minimal install.
