Still no luck solving this problem. I tried recompiling the kernel, but after ~8 hours of compiling time (on a P200 w/64mb) I got an error stating the kernel was too large... Arrggghhh!!!! The system doesn't seem to slow at the command line. Only in KDE is there a noticeable slowdown. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if that's just because the CLI is inherently faster, or it's due to a problem with K.
8 hours? That is how long it took me to compile 2.0.x on a 386dx20 with 4 megs of ram. Something sure isn't right here! What happens when you try a different window manager? What about if you run "top" or "xsysinfo?" Is almost 100% of the cpu being used? Is there something sucking up all your cpu time? Does it detect all of your ram? Also with 6.1 you could install 2.0.x kernel, can you/ did you try to install the older kernel? Sorry if this has already been suggested; I have only half kept up with this thread. Just giving you some ideas that MIGHT work. BTW did you do make bzImage (and make bzdisk or bzlilo) instead of just make zImage -- you may avoid the kernel to large error.
